FRESH PEAR CAKE

AUNT JOSEPHINE'S FRESH PEAR CAKE
This dense, moist, creamy-sweet pear cake was the signature dessert of my great-great aunts, Beth and Josephine. It was lost for several years. During that time we tried several different pear cake recipes, but none came close to this one. Now that it has been found again (and slightly updated), I want to share it with all of you, so that everyone can enjoy it! With love, Sarah.

- Beat sugar and grapeseed oil together in a separate bowl until creamy; stir in eggs. Stir flour mixture into sugar mixture; add pears. Blend batter with an electric mixer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Fold pecans into the batter and mix by hand until batter is well blended, about 2 more minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Loosen cake from pan by gently running the edge of a knife between cake and pan; let cool in pan for 20 minutes. Place a cake plate upside-down atop cake and flip pan to turn cake onto plate.

Tips:
- Use ripe, juicy pears for the best flavor. If your pears are not quite ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple at room temperature for a few days.
- Be sure to peel and core the pears before using them in the cake batter. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dense.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the pears by hand using a box grater. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they blend well into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This fabulously sweet pear cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist, tender cake is packed with juicy pears and topped with a creamy, flavorful frosting. Whether you're serving it to your family or friends, this cake is sure to be a hit.
