Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe pears for the best flavor. If your pears are not quite ripe, you can ripen them at home by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days.
  • Be sure to brown the butter for the glaze. This will give it a nutty flavor that complements the pears perfectly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

This pear snacking cake with brown butter glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a tender crumb. The glaze is rich and creamy, with a hint of nuttiness from the browned butter. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
