Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 medium-sized pear, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Arrange the pear slices over the batter in a single layer, slightly overlapping them if needed.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the pears.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
