Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cake, use ripe pears. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
- To easily remove the skin from the pears, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. You can also use a hand mixer or stand mixer to make the frosting light and fluffy.
- If you don't have any lemon juice on hand, you can use white vinegar instead. However, the lemon juice will give the frosting a brighter flavor.
- To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, bring the cake to room temperature and then frost it.
Conclusion:
This pear cake with lemon-honey cream cheese frosting is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is complemented by the tangy and sweet frosting, making it a truly irresistible treat. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a special treat, this cake is sure to be a hit.
