A moist and tender Bundt cake bursting with the warm flavors of spiced pears, perfect for autumn gatherings or a cozy dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced ripe pears (about 2–3 medium pears)
  • Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and milk.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the diced pears.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure your pears are ripe but not overly mushy for the best texture.
  • You can substitute apples for pears if desired.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter along with the pears.
  • This cake is delicious served warm or at room temperature.
