Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 240 milliliters sour cream
- 2 medium ripe pears, peeled and diced
- 100 grams chopped walnuts
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced pears and chopped walnuts, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth 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.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, sour cream, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk if needed for the desired consistency.
Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Walnut Pear Sour Cream Cake!
