Old fashioned pear coffee cake that you should make now
I love fall baking! When the weather changes there’s nothing better than filling your kitchen with an aroma of a freshly baked coffee cake! And this old fashioned pear coffee cake is a reminiscent of my childhood spent in Poland- when autumn meant the abundance of apples and pears and baking from scratch with my mom.
Pears are such an understated fruit in baking- but they have the most delicious taste and aroma once baked! Now while this coffee cake does not look pinterest perfect, I assure you it’s absolutely delicious! And remember, when you bake from scratch there’s much less sugar than in bought or pre prepared goods, and you truly control what you really eat and what you feed your family with! Plus, it’s actually much cheaper per serving than buying ready made.
Old Fashioned Pear Coffee cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup castor sugar
- 2 cup white unbleached flour
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 3 large eggs
- 4 red pears
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Using a standing mixer combine castor sugar with eggs until they become fluffy. Then dd butter and milk and mix all together until the batter is uniform. Add flour, baking powder and mix it well together. Pour the batter inside a low pie dish. Now cut the pears into large chunks and push them gently inside the batter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and some walnuts. Bake on 350 F for around 35 min or until golden.
This cake is best when served warm and becomes ultra scrumptious when served with good quality vanilla ice cream. I hope you’ll give it a try!
