Ingredients
Grated Pears
2 cups (Peels left on, grated)
Sugar
2 cups (Granulated)
Flour
2 1/2 cups (All-purpose, sifted)
Baking Soda
1 teaspoon (For leavening)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (Enhances flavor)
Eggs
2 (Large, beaten)
Vegetable Oil
1 cup (Oil for moisture)
Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon (Pure)
Chopped Nuts
1/2 cup (Walnuts or pecans, optional)
Instructions
1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt or tube pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the grated pears and sugar. Allow the mixture to sit for about 20 minutes to let the pears release their natural juice.
3
In a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This will help to aerate the flour and ensure a light cake.
4
Add the eggs and vegetable oil to the pear-sugar mixture and mix well until fully incorporated.
5
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
6
Fold in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
