Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 medium-sized pear, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 5

Arrange the pear slices over the batter in a single layer, slightly overlapping them if needed.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the streusel. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the pears.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
