  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (for creamy drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Fold in chopped pears and walnuts.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and walnuts until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
