Enhance cake batter with pureed pears and pumpkin pie spice for a moist, flavorful cake.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 5 ripe pears
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with shortening or cooking spray and lightly dust with flour.
  • Peel, core, and chop 2 pears, then add to blender. Blend until smooth. Measure out 1/2 cup of the puree and save the rest for later use.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine 1/2 cup pear puree, oil, and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix until well combined. Mix in eggs one at a time, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix just until everything is combined.
  • Prepare the 3 remaining pears by peeling, coring, and chopping them. Gently mix the chopped pears into the cake batter, then transfer the batter into the pan.
  • Bake for around 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert a cooling rack over the pan, flip it over, remove the pan, and let it cool completely for about 45 minutes before serving.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, cook butter, brown sugar, salt, and cream over medium heat until boiling. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk in powdered sugar until smooth, then pour over cooled cake.
