Moist and tender pear cake made with chucks of fresh pear nested in a cinnamon flavored tender cake.
Cinnamon pear cake recipe (1)

I’ve mentioned my mom several times on his blog. Most days I wish she took the time to show me how to cook and bake at early age, but some days I’m happy she didn’t. No matter what mood I’m in, thinking of her always makes me smile. Despite having 3 kids, working a full-time job to which she had to commute daily, she found time to always make sure we have a home cooked dinner every night and bake something sweet over the weekend.

I remember every time we had more fruit than we could eat she roughly chop some andadd it to a cake. It was her signature cake, so to speak. She has made it so many times she knew it by heart.

    Moms are the best. Yours sounds a lot like mine, Roxana - a house full of kids, a full time job but still, coming home to make a meal from scratch. I don't think I'll ever be that strong. I love that you made your mom's signature cake for today's post. This looks amazing! I can tell just by looking at your gorgeous photos how moist and fluffy the texture of the cake is. Those soft juicy chunks of pear just takes it over the top.

    I always knew my mom worked incredibly hard but the more I grow up and the more busy life gets the more I appreciate all that she did for me and my brother. It is not easy by any means to run a house and raise children.

    I used the basics of this recipe, but switched some ratios around and added some things...more brown sugar instead of white, nutmeg and cardamom, wholemeal flour, 1/3 of the flour replaced by almond meal....also mixed strawberries, cranberries and almond flakes into the mixture. To serve, I drizzled brown sugar/butter/icing sugar syrup over individual servings and sprinkled with toasted almond flakes...so good! It's probably denser than your recipe, when served the texture resembles pudding. Absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

    Very tasty, light cake -- good for breakfast or morning meetings! I will note that 45 minutes was too long in my oven -- I took mine out at about 38 minutes and it's on the verge of being overcooked. Next time, I'll cook it for 35 mins and hope for a more moist cake.

      Hi MelanieThans for the comment! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the cake. Oven temperature varies from oven to oven, even when an oven temperature is used, that's why I mention to test the cake by inserting a wooden pick in the center. Thanks, Roxana

    C you use canned pears in a pinch or would they turn entirely to mush in this cake? Thanks for the recipe and your response.

    • Cinnamon pear cake recipe (39)Roxana says

      Hi there, canned pears are too soft to be used in the recipe, they will turn your cake into a messy mush. I would not recommend. It's a waste a time and ingredients.

      Hi Chloe,You can replace the cool whip with whipped heavy cream (whipped until firm peaks) or just use a vanilla buttercream frosting or just leave it plain. Roxana

Mayonnaise: The Hidden Gem in Cake Recipes

Made up of eggs and oil, mayonnaise acts as an emulsifier, adding creaminess and moisture to your cake. This unexpected addition can take your cake recipes to a whole new level. To incorporate mayonnaise into your cake batter, simply add a couple of tablespoons to the mix.

Why add sour cream to a cake mix? ›

Sour cream is one of the fattiest dairy products; the extra fat content (for example, adding sour cream to a cake instead of milk) will make the cake moister and richer, says Wilk. "Fat, in any form (butter, lard, cream, etc.) shortens gluten strands, which essentially leads to the most tender baked goods," she adds.

What makes a cake more moist, oil or butter? ›

Why does oil give cake superior texture? Butter is 18% water, so when the batter is baked, some of its liquid evaporates. Replacing the water from the butter with oil means there's more fat left in the cakes to ensure tenderness.

What does adding applesauce to cake do? ›

Applesauce acts much like the fat. It keeps the flour protein from mixing completely with the wet ingredients and forming a rubbery, dense texture. This is what does applesauce do in baking.

What is the most important ingredient in a cake? ›

Flour is perhaps the most important ingredient in a cake mix, as it creates the basic structure of the entire cake. A major component of flour is gluten, which is a protein that provides a way for the cake to bind to itself.

What does adding mayonnaise to cake mix do? ›

All this means that adding mayonnaise to the cake batter boosts the moisture of the final product—and leaves none of its characteristic taste.

Is it better to bake with buttermilk or sour cream? ›

The creamy texture may also be compromised. The Verdict: Because most recipes that call for milk work just as well (or better) with buttermilk, and the fact that sour cream can alter the taste or texture and add more fat to a recipe, Chef Eddy's top choice is (drum roll, please).... buttermilk.

Why are bakery cakes so fluffy? ›

Leavening Agents

Breads, cakes, cookies, and nearly all baked goods require a leavening agent. These are the key ingredients that make a cake rise. There are two types of leavening agents, chemical (baking soda and baking powder) and biological (yeast).

Can I use both butter and oil in cake? ›

A blend of these two ingredients gives the cake the best possible flavor and texture. Butter provides flavor while oil adds moisture and keeps it from being too dry. A cake made with all oil would be moist but lacking in flavor, and an all-butter cake may have a more buttery taste, but would be more dry.

What makes a box cake fluffier? ›

Buttermilk: Instead of water, use the same amount of buttermilk. The acid in the buttermilk interacts with the leavening agents in the mix for a better rise. "Swapping out the water for buttermilk creates a fluffier cake and a moister one, too," says Waterson.

Add an Extra Egg

Most cake mixes call for two to three eggs. Just one more egg will add extra moisture, fat, and a little protein, which means the cake will be softer and less likely to overbake and dry out in the oven.

Why do you put water in the oven when baking a cake? ›

It provides moisture.

The steam from the water bath creates a moist environment inside the oven. This is important for delicate bakes like cheesecakes, souffles, terrines, and chiffon cakes. Without added moisture, the surface tends to dry out while the inside is still expanding, which leads to unsightly cracks.
