    Fresh Pear Bread Recipe

    PEAR BREAD, AWWW! I love to incorporate fresh pears into my baking recipes, such as this sweet loaf cake. I don't know why, but I hate to use canned pears!

    This fluffy, moist and fruity pear bread is one of the easiest and most delicious loaf cakes I have ever made, and it is great for breakfast or dessert!

    Pear Bread

    This easy Pear Bread Recipe is a great way to use any ripe pears you have; it doesn't require a lot of ingredients, and it won't take much of your time. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough!

    I don't use milk like in my Hazelnut Cake Recipe. Instead, I used sour cream, which was a good choice.

    Sour cream adds tenderness, moisture and richness to the cake. I also flavored this loaf cake with ground cinnamon, which goes so well with pears.

    You'll Need

    "See the recipe card below for more information about the ingredients and quantities."

    Flour: I use all-purpose flour. You may use self-rising flour instead and skip the baking powder.

    Ground cinnamon: Adds warm flavor and nice aroma to the bread, it also goes well with fruit flavors.

    Butter: I use unsalted butter! It gives the cake richness and additional moisture.

    Sugar: I use granulated sugar as the main sweetening agent for this recipe.

    Eggs: I use 2 large eggs. They help bind your ingredients together.

    Vanilla extract: It gives this cake a nice smelling aroma and flavor.

    Baking powder & Baking soda: They are leavening agents and help the bread to rise.

    Sour cream: It makes the batter richer and adds flavor to your loaf.

    Fresh Pears: I don't peel the pears, and I cut them into small chunks. Look for ripe or firm pears, do not use overripe pears because they will add too much moisture to your recipe.

    Steps 1,2 and 3 of making the pear bread recipe.
