Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups 2% low-fat milk
  • 1 1/2 cups pears, peeled and diced (1 large or 2 small)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat over to 350°F Grease a 10-inch bundt pan well, brushing it with melted butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. It will look sandy when well-combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by pear/apple sauce and vanilla extract.
  4. 4
    Working in two or three additions, alternately add flour mixture and milk to the sugar mixture. Stir only until just combined, then gently stir in the diced pears.
  5. 5
    Pour into prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and the cake springs back when gently pressed.
  6. 6
    Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
  7. 7
    Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
