Pears are the Cinderellas of fall fruit. The humble pear sits quietly in the background while apples and pumpkins fight over who gets the most Instagram hashtags named after them.
This golden, buttery cake is spiced with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger and studded with fresh pear. But the real magic comes from one very special ingredient: Amoretti’s Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean Syrup.
Just a pump or two is all it takes to add serious vanilla flavor to your coffee, baked goods, or even oatmeal. It’s the special something that lends this cake it’s rich, warm vanilla flavor.
I know apples and pumpkin are vying for your attention this season, but if there’s one thing I really, really hope you’ll take the time to make, it’s this cake.
