How to Make Ann S Cranberry Pear Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped pears, cranberries, and walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

- Serve warm with whipped cream or powdered sugar, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
