Ingredients

    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
    • 1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries
    • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • Batter:
    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
    • 2 cups chopped peeled ripe pears
  • Glaze:
    • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 5 teaspoons milk
    • 4-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted
    • 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, pecans, cranberries and apple pie spice; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Beat just until combined. Fold in pears.

Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with half of the pecan mixture; top with remaining batter and pecan mixture.

Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. In a bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cake.
