WALNUT-PEAR SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE
I made this prize winning cake this morning and I just loved it. I substituted Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour for the all purpose flour and I used soy sour cream and vegan margarine instead any dairy products. The flavor is very nice and nutty. It would go great with a cup of grain beverage coffee. I got this recipe from a Better Homes & Gardens mini-book called the Best of Hometown Cooking. This tasted much better after sitting in the fridge overnight.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350'F.
- Grease a 9" spring form pan or a 9x9x2 inch baking pan; set aside.
- In a small bowl combine walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- For the topping: In another small bowl, cut the 1/4 cup butter into 1/3 cup flour until crumbly. Stir in 1/4 cup of the nut mixture.
- Toss the pear slices with the lemon juice and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups flour, the baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl beat the 1/2 cup butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in the granulated sugar and vanilla.
- Add one egg at a time beating after each addition. Alternately add the flour mixture with the sour cream to egg mixture.
- Beat on low speed after each addition until combined.
- Spread two thirds of the batter in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved nut mixture. Layer the pear slices on top. Gently spread remaining batter over pears.
- Sprinkle with reserved topping.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack. If using remove the sides from your spring form pan and cool for an additional 30 minutes.
- Bon Appetit!
