Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy pears. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
- Be sure to peel and core your pears before using them in the cake batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming gritty.
- If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
