Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Pumpkin: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in Pears: Gently fold in the diced pears until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Optional Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
