Best 5 Crumb Cake With Pear Preserves Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch cake pan; line with parchment paper and butter the paper.

• Whisk together sour cream, eggs and vanilla. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add softened butter and beat for 10 seconds to combine. Beat in egg mixture, continuing to beat until very smooth.
• Pour batter into pan and top with the pear slices, spreading them out evenly (if there is liquid in the pan with the pears, don't add it). Use your fingers to squeeze together large crumbs from the topping and scatter evenly on top of pears.

Transfer cake to a wire rack and cool completely, at least 2 hours before serving. Cake can be made a day ahead.
