Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs beaten
- 1 cup butter melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2-3 cans sliced pears drained
Topping:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add ingredients one at a time in the order listed above. Stir after each ingredient addition. I used a whisk, but a rubber spatula or plain old spoon would work just as well.
- Pour batter into a greased 9"x13" baking dish.
- Bake at 350° for 45 minutes and remove.
- In a saucepan, mix all of the topping ingredients. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Pour topping mixture over cake evenly.
- Place cake back in the 350° oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Patricia Jane says
I live in the UK so don't use cups in recipes. Can someone please translate for me, also are American and Australian cup amounts identical? This recipe looks delicious so I'd like to get it right.
Michelle says
No, Australian and American cup amounts are slightly different, but close. I've translated to grams as closely as I can. However, I haven't tried the recipe measuring this way, so I can't guarantee the results. Please let me know how it goes if you try it!
200g granulated sugar
200g brown sugar
3 eggs beaten
227g butter (melted)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
375g flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda

Angela says
If using fresh pears ; how many for the recipe?
Michelle says
I have not made it this way, but I would estimate about 8-12 depending on size. Let me know how it turns out when you try it!
Tania says
This cake is so easy and is so awesome. My mom loves it and I make it for her all the time. She does not like sharing it though 😀
Great Recipe !

I made it yesterday and everyone like it. I just use 1/2 cup of butter and turn out very well and I’m not a baker at all. Thank you for the recipe.
Laura says
Anyone know what size cans of pears?
Michelle says
Sorry, this is an older recipe when I wasn't great at writing them yet, and hasn't been updated. The cake is delicious. I just wasn't a great writer. 😆 Anyway, just your "average size" cans, 15 ounces.
Alice Marshall says
Can I use fresh pears sliced for this recipe? Please let me know would like to make it tomorrow Thank you Alice
Michelle says
It would probably work. However canned pears are usually a little softer, in my experience and this might affect the overall texture.
