Made as a Bundt cake with a heavier, loaf-like texture, this cake looks decadent, tastes light and is versatile enough to serve as a weeknight treat or all dressed up for a birthday presentation. It features a delicate confectioners&#8217; sugar glaze, which gets drizzled over the warm cake and melts down the sides for a truly pretty result.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pear Cake<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wet ingredients:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll be using large eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract for the wet ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dry ingredients:<\/strong> For the dry ingredients, all you need is sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pears:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll be using about two medium-sized fresh pears, which you&#8217;ll peel and finely chop before adding them into the cake batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Glaze:\u00a0<\/strong>To make the simple but gorgeous glaze, you&#8217;ll need confectioners&#8217; sugar and whole milk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Combine the wet ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pear-Cake_TOHD24_3619_KristinaVanni_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"combining the wet ingredients.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kristina V\u00e4nni for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

Consider pear extract if you want an additional boost in pear flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Pear Cake<\/h2>\n<p>You can store any leftover cake in a Bundt cake keeper (essentially, a tray with a top that fits over it), or other airtight container. This cake should be kept in the fridge, not just on the counter, due to the milk in the glaze. Eat any leftovers within four to five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze pear cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze a pear cake. We do recommend freezing it without the glaze, however (don&#8217;t worry, you can just add it after you&#8217;ve thawed the cake completely). Once the cake has cooled, wrap it tightly in freezer-safe plastic or waxed wrap, then put this inside an airtight container. It&#8217;ll store well like this for one to two months.<\/p>\n<h2>Pear Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2057903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pear-Cake_TOHD24_3619_KristinaVanni_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Pear Cake\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Kristina V\u00e4nni for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use canned or frozen pears?<\/h3>\n<p>While fresh does taste best, frozen is your next best bet for pear cake recipes. Additionally, you can use canned pears, but try to find pears that aren&#8217;t stored in syrup. The syrup would add an extra dose of sweetness to your cake that will change the recipe results considerably.<\/p>\n<h3>Do pears need to be ripe for baking?<\/h3>\n<p>Surprisingly, you do not need to have ripe pears for baking\u2014in fact, we recommend using not quite ripe pears for the best results. Ripe pears tend to become too mushy for a pear cake recipe, so a slightly hard pear is actually best.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I serve with pear cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Pear cake is simple and delicious, and its lightly sweet taste and hearty texture pair exceptionally well with a scoop of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-vanilla-ice-cream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-vanilla-ice-cream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade vanilla ice cream<\/a> or a serving of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-custard\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/baked-custard\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">smooth custard<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This pretty pear cake is bursting with luscious pear flavor.
