A moist and warmly spiced pear Bundt cake layered with cinnamon-sugar pears and finished with a rich homemade caramel drizzle.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium pears (peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 whole eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup whole milk (at room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan with baking spray.
  2. In a bowl, combine diced pears with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour one-third of the batter into the prepared pan. Add half of the pear mixture. Repeat layering, ending with batter on top.
  6. Bake for about 1 hour 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate and remove the pan.
  8. For the caramel sauce, melt brown sugar in a skillet over low heat. Add butter and stir until combined. Stir in heavy cream and cook for a few minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Let cool for 15 minutes to thicken.
  9. Drizzle caramel sauce over the cooled cake, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm pears for best texture.
  • Ensure all refrigerated ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • The caramel sauce can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
