For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. The cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well blended. (5 minutes)
04
StepGradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the diced pears and toasted walnuts. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter into the prepared tube pan and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. (55 minutes)
06
StepLet the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. (40 minutes)
07
StepWhile the cake is cooling, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it turns a rich brown color and emits a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (5 minutes)
08
StepStir in the confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the icing is thick and smooth. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the icing to your desired consistency. (3 minutes)
09
StepOnce the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the brown butter icing evenly over the top. Let the icing set before serving. (5 minutes)
