Indulgent pound cake with caramelized pears and almonds for a decadent treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 medium pears, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Pound Cake Mix
  • Milk, butter and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seed filling (from 12 1/2-oz can)
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray and add butter. Allow the butter to melt in the oven for 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar until well combined and spread it evenly in the pan. Top with pear slices and sprinkle with almonds.
  • Prepare cake mix according to package instructions, using milk, butter, and eggs. Gently mix in poppy seed filling. Pour batter over the pears in the pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert a heatproof serving plate or a foil-lined cookie sheet on top of the pan and flip it over. Let the pan sit on the cake for a minute to allow the topping to drizzle, then remove the pan. Cool for 10 minutes, sprinkle with toasted almonds, and store covered in the refrigerator.
