Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups ripe pears, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped pears with a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the deepest part of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack and release the cake. Let it cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.

Step 11

Slice and serve as is or pair with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
