This is a not-too-sweet, hand-mixed yogurt cake that sparkles with the flavors of cardamom, fresh pear, crystallized ginger and a lemony glaze. If you have leftovers, store them at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap, in the baking pan or dish. The cake tastes even better after a day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld.
