# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Cake Batter
01 -
3 large eggs
02 -
2 cups granulated sugar
03 -
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
04 -
3 cups all-purpose flour
05 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
06 -
1 teaspoon salt
07 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
08 -
1 1/2 cups finely chopped peeled pears (about 2 medium)
09 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Glaze
10 -
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
11 -
2 tablespoons whole milk
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat eggs on medium speed until thoroughly blended.
02 -
Gradually add granulated sugar to the eggs while beating, then pour in vegetable oil and continue to blend until mixture is smooth.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until evenly mixed.
04 -
Add the dry flour mixture to the egg mixture in batches, mixing until a thick batter forms.
05 -
Gently fold in chopped pears and vanilla extract, blending just until incorporated; batter will be stiff.
06 -
Transfer the batter evenly into a greased and floured baking pan.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
08 -
In a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar with whole milk until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.
09 -
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake before slicing and serving.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For optimal flavor and texture, ensure pears are fully ripe but still firm before chopping.
