Cinnamon Pear Cake

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!
