4. Fold in cinnamon. You want the batter to be a cross between a cookie batter and a cake batter. Because these batters can turn out so differently at this point, either stir in a bit more flour to thicken, or add milk a tablespoon at a time to thin out.

 
5. Chop up pears. I like mine a medium-large dice.

 
6. Fold pears into batter.

 
7. Lightly grease a 9 x 9 in. baking dish (or similar) and pour in the batter. Bake for about 40 minutes, until cake is super golden.

8. Allow to cool a bit and serve warm, if desired. You can also serve fully cooled. Goes great with cream or vanilla ice cream.

When I was younger my grandmother made a great pear cake. I loved this cake and have made it several times. The one that she made was done with canned pears and you used the juice to make the batter of the cake with.

I have not made one of these cakes in years and now I really want to make it again.

I love that you use the juice too! I hope you make it again soon. Pears in cakes can be rare but such a treat. Thanks for sharing your story :)
