How to Make Delta Pear Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Peel, core, and chop 3 ripe Bosc pears. Gently fold the chopped pears into the batter.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Reduce baking time to 40-45 minutes if using a convection oven.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
