Cozy up with this moist and festive Pear Cake with cinnamon buttercream. The pears literally melt into the cake making it so soft and flavorful. It's like fall on a fork!
If you want a seasonal celebration cake that's got tons of flavor but not too fussy or full or extra flair? Then you have to make this pear layer cake. It is simple while still being super moist thanks to loads of shredded pears that melt into the batter.
This pear cake is layered with creamy cinnamon frosting. The cinnamon does a fantastic job of adding a lovely warming flavor while also taming down the sweetness of the buttercream.
