Ingredients

Servings

• 2.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cup Ripe pears, peeled and chopped
• 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoon Heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped pears and walnuts.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the walnut praline topping. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar and cook until melted and caramelized. Stir in the chopped walnuts and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
7. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the walnut praline topping over the top. Serve and enjoy!
