How to Make Pear Spice Bundt Cake With Walnut Praline Topping
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Beat in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Add 4 large egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and diced pears and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the topping: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spoon the warm praline topping over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
