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
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the pears: Gently fold the pear slices into the batter.
- Assemble the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Evenly distribute the streusel topping over the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- 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.
