I had bookmarked this apple cake recipe long back and didn't get a chance to try it until last week. As usual Taste of Home's recipe didn't fail me. Since I have baked a lot of apple cakes, I decided to substitute it with pears and the result was total yumminess.

This is my first try baking a pear cake and it turned out so good that even my husband who usually stays away from sweets kept asking for seconds and thirds. When I tasted the batter I felt it was over the top sweet but after baking the cake did not taste very sweet. It was sweeter than some of the recipes I have here but definitely good. So for me this is more of a dessert cake than a snack cake.The original recipe calls for butter which I have replaced with a vegan vegetable oil spread. Other than that I have not made any changes in the recipe. Another change I have made is using a different pan instead of a fluted tube pan mentioned in the recipe. I used a mini bundt pan with 6 inserts. I had one more batter left over after filling that pan, which was enough to make about 7 mini muffins. I think you could also use a 9x13 inch pan instead. If baking as muffins, the batter should be enough to make about 18-20 muffins. freshly baked pear cake

Reading the recipe I knew that the cake would be a very big one which would be way more than our family could eat and that's why I decided to bake it as mini bundt cakes so that I can share it with some of my friends without cutting it and making a mess. So you could also try baking it as mini loaves and it would make perfect gifts. Make sure to check the baking time according to the pan you use.Recipe

I'm cooking for an oil free plant based vegetarian. I used whole wheat flour and left out the fats (butter/margarine) and the brown sugar. I drizzled in a little maple syrup in with the pear mixture. My husband loved it. It was also gobbled up by the non vegetarian members of the family. i even through it together while hot and it turned out. I baked it in a muffin tin to save time and have ready made individual servings. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. A new winter favorite
