PEAR BUNDT CAKE
Next time you make cake from a mix, try my easy and delicious recipe. The pears and syrup add sweet flavor and prevent the cake from drying out. And since there's no oil added to the batter, this tender fall-perfect cake is surprisingly low in fat. -Veronica Ross, Columbia Heights, Minnesota

PEAR SPICE BUNDT CAKE WITH WALNUT PRALINE TOPPING
Found this tasty adaptation of a circa 1992 Gourmet magazine recipe on www.joythebaker.com , a delightful blog up for an award for Best New Blog of 2009 on www.2009.bloggies.com . Give it a look & see whether you'd give her a vote (I did along with a vote for www.fark.com for the esteemed lifetime achievement award). She's got some tasty recipes for sure. Anyone resurrecting the much maligned American Bundt cake gets a hat tip from me anytime. I plan to make this & halve it immediately after cooling cake but before spooning on topping - will add topping to each half with the best looking one going IMMEDIATELY to dear neighbor's home as I strongly suspect this could become a main meal substitute if allowed to remain in toto in our house, LOL.

This is a slight twist on applesauce cake, relying instead on a homemade pear sauce. The cake can be made a day ahead. Keep it at room temperature, then glaze it and garnish it with pear chips just before serving.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, spread granulated sugar in an even layer. Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until sugar around edge of pan melts and begins to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, slowly stir until all sugar has melted and mixture is translucent and golden.
- Add pear chunks to caramel, and stir to coat. Cook, covered, over low heat until very soft, 6 to 8 minutes, swirling pan occasionally. Using a potato masher, mash pears until they are broken down but still slightly chunky. Continue cooking, uncovered, 5 minutes more, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch (12-cup capacity) Bundt pan, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, baking soda, pepper, and nutmeg; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, and honey on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined after each addition. With mixer on the lowest speed, add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk and beginning and ending with flour. Add reserved pear sauce and mix to combine, about 1 minute, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Do not overmix.
- Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth with a small offset spatula. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake is a deep golden brown and a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Invert cake onto a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper and allow to cool 10 minutes. Once cool, pour the glaze over the top, letting some drip down the sides. Alternatively, dust with confectioners' sugar. Garnish with pear chips, if using.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
- With a hand mixer cream butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
- In alternate batches, add dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in pears with a rubber spatula, scraping sides and bottom of mixing bowl. Transfer batter into the greased and floured 25 cm Bundt cake pan (or a silicone one).
- Bake in the oven for 50-55 minutes at 160C, or until a skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and place pan on cooling rack.
- Using a wooden skewer, poke holes in the cake while it's still warm. Carefully pour the brown butter glaze over cake, making sure it gets in all of the holes. Let cake cool completely before removing from pan.
- When cake is inverted and placed on its serving plate, drizzle as much or as little caramel sauce as you'd like.
- Butter glaze:.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter, sugars, and vanilla. Cook until fully melted and allow to brown, being careful not to let the mixture boil.
- Caramel sauce:.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, heat until clumps form and then melt into thick, amber-colored liquid, being careful not to burn it.
- Carefully stir in the butter until it's melted, 2-3 minutes. Then very slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble and possibly splatter, so be careful. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool, and reheat as necessary.

ORANGE-PEAR BUNDT CAKE
I like to fiddle with recipes, sometimes combining them...this is a gem. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we do plus I have made it lowfat! You may use some Splenda for a portion of the sugar if desired. To save more calories, omit the glaze and just enjoy the cake plain - it's refreshing! Ovens vary; remember to lower the temperature 25 degrees if using a dark bundt pan.
