This is a super moist, delicious cake. Tastes better the day after and only gets better as the days go by.
Ingredients
Brown Butter Icing
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced pears
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Step 2
Mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in large bowl.
Step 3
Beat sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed in a separate bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well-blended. Mix in flour mixture until batter is smooth. Fold in pears and walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 5
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it is a rich brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until icing is thick and smooth. Stir in water 1 tablespoon at a time to thin icing to desired consistency. Drizzle icing over cooled cake.
