How to Make Apple Or Pear Cake

  1. **Cake Batter:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or springform 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 extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the peeled and diced apples or pears.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. **Decadent Topping:** While the cake is baking, prepare the topping. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, and milk.
  10. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 3 minutes).
  11. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately pour the warm topping evenly over the top.
  12. Return the cake to the oven for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly.
  13. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
