Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Sour cream or plain yogurt
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Ripe pears (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or a regular round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced pears and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative touch before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Walnut Pear Cinnamon Coffee Cake with a cup of coffee or tea.
