Can I use a different type of milk for this vegan torte?

While almond milk is specified, you could substitute another plant-based milk, though it might slightly alter the flavor profile of the torte.

What kind of pan is best for baking this torte?

A springform pan is recommended for easy release, especially with the caramelized pear and almond topping that forms on the bottom.

Do I need to peel the pear before slicing it?

The recipe does not specify peeling the pear, so you can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients, or peel it if preferred.

How do I ensure the pear slices don't stick to the pan?

The recipe instructs to spray the springform pan thoroughly and sprinkle the bottom with sugar before arranging the pear slices, which helps prevent sticking and creates a caramelized layer.

Can I prepare the torte batter ahead of time?

For best results, it's recommended to mix the batter and bake immediately, as the leavening agents (baking powder and soda) are activated once wet ingredients are combined.
