Ingredients

  • 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • For Streusel Topping:
    • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Preparation Steps

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Add the melted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  5. Add the pears: Gently fold the pear slices into the batter.
  6. Assemble the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Evenly distribute the streusel topping over the batter.
  7. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
