Caramel Glazed Pear Cake

I LOVE looking through cookbooks with photos! Sorry - I know my photos aren't very good yet, but I am working on that part of my blog :)  A lot of the photos I took awhile ago and didn't have a blog in my mind at the time.  Anyways, while in NJ this summer I was enjoying one of sister-in-laws cookbooks, called Southern Living Farmers Market Cookbook (I have googled it and it is available at Wal-mart but I seldom go there). I did however have her scan this recipe from her book to bring home to try.  I LOVE it!! I also took it out to our small group meeting and they all gave it a thumbs up as well.  Recently my friend told me she made it for her daughter-in-laws birthday cake and all asked for seconds!
Hope you will try it and then leave me a comment :)


4 pears peeled & diced                      
1 T sugar                               
  Mix together in separate bowl and let stand for 5 mins.
3 eggs
2 c sugar
1 ½ c oil
3 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla extract               
      Mix all ingredients together . Add pears – just until all mixed in.
Grease bundt pan. Bake 350 for 1 hour or so.  Let rest in pan for 10 mins and then  remove.  I decided to have the wide part of the cake on top so all of the yummy glaze  would seep into the cake better, and I think it looks prettier:)
GLAZE:
1 c brown sugar
½ c butter
¼ c evaporated milk          

     Over medium heat, bring to a boil and cook for 2 ½ mins.  Drizzle onto cake.  ENJOY! And share with others ♥
