Ingredients for Apple And Pear Bundt Cake

  • 2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 medium pears (such as Anjou or Bartlett), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • Raisins
  • White Sugar
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Clove
  • Nutmeg
  • 4 large eggs
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pecans
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

How to Make Apple And Pear Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Peel, core, and chop the apples and pears into small pieces. Gently fold the fruit into the batter.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
