Moist and tender pear cake made with chucks of fresh pear nested in a cinnamon flavored tender cake.
I’ve mentioned my mom several times on his blog. Most days I wish she took the time to show me how to cook and bake at early age, but some days I’m happy she didn’t. No matter what mood I’m in, thinking of her always makes me smile. Despite having 3 kids, working a full-time job to which she had to commute daily, she found time to always make sure we have a home cooked dinner every night and bake something sweet over the weekend.
I remember every time we had more fruit than we could eat she roughly chop some and add it to a cake. It was her signature cake, so to speak. She has made it so many times she knew it by heart.
Today my friends and I are back sharing some of our favorite recipes in honor of Mother’s day. Check them out below. Thinking of my mom I made this pear cake.
