A slice of this soft and moist Cinnamon Pear Cake is perfect for breakfast, brunch or after dinner with coffee. It comes together with pantry staples and takes about 15 minutes to get into the oven. This easy cake is loaded with delicately sweet pears and topped with cinnamon sugar for maximum fall flavor. Trust me, this cake will be on rotation all fall long.
To start, preheat the oven and prepare a springform baking pan. Next, prepare the cinnamon sugar. Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Then combine the dry ingredients in one bowl and beat the wet ingredients in another. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined. Toss the chopped pears with a few tablespoons of cinnamon sugar and fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Finally, bake the cake until it’s golden brown, and a skewer inserted into it emerges clean. Let cool completely in the pan before serving. Slice and enjoy!
To make the Cinnamon Pear Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat together ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups sugar, 6 ounces cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Add 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as necessary.
Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
In a bowl, toss 3 cups chopped pears with 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Gently fold the pears into the prepared cake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar evenly over the batter.
Bake until a skewer inserted into the center emerges clean and the edges start to pull away from the sides, about 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire cooling rack.
Slice and serve!
