Spiced Pear Loaf
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 2 cups peeled shredded pears
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature, specifically 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 165 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, lightly coat the interior surfaces of two 8x5-inch loaf pans with a thin layer of butter or cooking spray, followed by a dusting of flour to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing container, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder - creating a well in the center of the mixture.
4
In a separate bowl, blend together grated pears, sugar, chopped pecans, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
5
Make a small indentation in the center of the dry ingredients and gently pour the wet ingredient mixture into it, stirring until just combined. The batter should still have a slightly dry texture.
6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans, filling them about 2/3 full.
7
Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Once baked, remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before transferring them to a plate or serving surface.
