One thing I absolutely love about where I live is the generosity of my neighbors. I will often find little trinkets or treasures left from my friends that live nearby. It might be a basket of berries,a bunch of herbs, or a bucket of fruit. At the start of this school year, I got several buckets of pears. I love pears, and I remember climbing my neighbor's tree when I was little and munching into their thick skin and juicy center. I love pears. As much as I like to eat them, there is NO WAY I could have finished off all of those pears by myself. I had to come up with something delicious to make with them. My decision? Spiced Pear Cake!
I had been dying to try out my new ice blue kitchen aid mixer, and was so excited to put it to good use. I diced up those pears and soaked them in sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
In the mixer, I placed flour, baking powder, salt, and a little more sugar and blended with eggs, milk, oil and some applesauce. After I pulled the bread out of the oven and let it cool off, I drizzled some browned butter icing on top, and me-oh-my, talk about DEELISH!
I think I made about 8 of these bad-boys that week. Not only did I really have a LOT of pears, but they were so fun to make, and turned out so beautiful! I was handing out cakes left and right!
