This has been in the family some time. I am now a great-grandmother myself (I have one little great-granddaughter; in addition, I have three grandchildren and a son), and it's one of the recipes that my mother used to make long ago. I've lived on the farm where I was brought up all my life. I am a jack-of-all-trades in the kitchen, and my husband and I both enjoy hunting. -Beatrice Richard, Posen, Michigan

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Mix into the egg mixture. Mix in the pears and nuts, then stir in the raisins by hand, distributing them evenly in the batter. Spoon into a 10-inch tube pan and bake about 45 to 60 minutes, until springy and dry in the center. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack, then turn it out. Freeze until ready to use or just wrap and store for up to 2 days.
  • To make the glaze: Stir the maple syrup and sugar together in a bowl. Glaze the cooled cake by spooning the glaze around the tops of the cakes and letting it drip down the sides.

CINNAMON WALNUT COFFEE CAKE



Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake image

This is the most moist coffee cake I have ever eaten. It is delicious right out of the oven, but is even better the next day. I wish it wasn't made from pre-packaged products, but it tastes so good, I am willing to forgive. I have made this with half of the oil substituted with half a cup of applesauce with great success. That is how I make it now. Pecans can be substituted for the walnuts as well, it is a pretty forgiving recipe.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, ensure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients always yield the best results, especially when it comes to baking. Opt for ripe pears and walnuts for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  • Properly Grease and Flour the Pan: This will prevent the coffee cake from sticking and ensure it comes out of the pan cleanly.
  • Follow the Baking Time Carefully: Every oven is different, so keep a close eye on the coffee cake during baking. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when done.
  • Allow the Coffee Cake to Cool: Before glazing or serving, let the coffee cake cool completely. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.

Indulge in the delightful flavors of fall with this Walnut-Pear-Cinnamon Coffee Cake. With its moist, tender crumb, sweet and juicy pears, crunchy walnuts, and aromatic cinnamon, this coffee cake is a true treat. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack.
