Categories     Pear

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 fresh pears
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Peel and slice pears thin. Mix sliced pears with white sugar, brown sugar, and nuts and let sit for one hour. After sitting puree pear mixture in a blender. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 13x9 inch pan. By hand stir in until just blended; the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add dry ingredients to pear mixture and add oil, vanilla and eggs. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pears: Use ripe, firm pears that are not too soft or mushy. Bosc, Anjou, and Bartlett pears are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the pears: Use a sharp knife to peel and core the pears. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Slice the pears: Slice the pears into thin slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the pears with sugar and spices: In a large bowl, toss the pear slices with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This will help the pears caramelize in the oven.
  • Make the batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter over the pears: Pour the batter over the pears in the prepared baking dish. Spread the batter evenly.
  • Bake the cake: Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

This pear cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The pears are caramelized and soft, and the cake is moist and flavorful. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
