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.

Tips:
- Using room temperature ingredients will help ensure that your cake mixes evenly and bakes properly.
- Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour can make your cake dry and dense.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- When inserting a toothpick into the cake to test for doneness, be sure to insert it into the center of the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This sour cream walnut cake is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and rich, nutty flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips and you'll be able to make a perfect sour cream walnut cake every time.
