Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
- Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
- Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
- Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

PEAR WALNUT SPICE CAKE
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the raisins in a bowl and toss them with 2 tablespoons of the flour until lightly coated (this will prevent them from sinking in the cake batter during baking).
- To make the cake: Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer) until fluffy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the vanilla and the oil. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Mix into the egg mixture. Mix in the pears and nuts, then stir in the raisins by hand, distributing them evenly in the batter. Spoon into a 10-inch tube pan and bake about 45 to 60 minutes, until springy and dry in the center. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack, then turn it out. Freeze until ready to use or just wrap and store for up to 2 days.
- To make the glaze: Stir the maple syrup and sugar together in a bowl. Glaze the cooled cake by spooning the glaze around the top of the cake and letting it drip down the sides.
PEAR SPICE CAKE W/CREAM CHEESE FROSTING & PECAN PRALINE TOPPING
Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter two 9" cake pans, and line bottoms with parchment paper. Mix dry ingredients for cake in a large bowl. Stir 1/2 cup butter in small saucepan over medium heat until melted and brown, about 3 min. To the dry mixture, add pear nectar, eggs, molasses and crystallized ginger, then add brown butter. Using an electric mixer, beat batter 2 min on medium speed. Fold in pears. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake until cake is dark brown and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 25 min. Layers will be very thin. Cool cake in pans on racks for 15 min. Shake pans gently to be sure cake is free (run knife around edge if necessary), dump out and turn back onto parchment side, finish cooling on racks. Meanwhile, make frosting by beating cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until most of it is incorporated. Taste for sweetness, adjust to taste. Add sour cream, beat until incorporated. Add vanilla, beat until frosting is light and fluffy. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day in advance.) Peel parchment off, torte layers. Place first layer on cake board or serving platter. Put a layer of frosting on. Repeat with next two layers, then put the last layer of cake on top, smooth side up (no crumbs!). Do not frost top. Frost sides of cake smooth, then pipe an edge around the top to hold the praline topping. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Shortly before serving, make topping by stirring butter, brown sugar and heavy cream in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat until smooth. Boil 3 min, stirring often. Stir in pecan halves. Take cake out of fridge, spoon warm topping into center. Serve immediately for gooey texture, or later for a more southern praline texture.
APPLE PEAR CAKE
When my sister Catherine made her apple cake for me, I knew I needed the recipe. When I made it, I added some pears from the trees on our acreage. The resulting apple pear cake is so moist and tastes so good. Now every time I make it, people want my recipe. -Mary Ann Lees, Centreville, Alabama

PEAR SPICE BUNDT CAKE WITH WALNUT PRALINE TOPPING
Found this tasty adaptation of a circa 1992 Gourmet magazine recipe on www.joythebaker.com , a delightful blog up for an award for Best New Blog of 2009 on www.2009.bloggies.com . Give it a look & see whether you'd give her a vote (I did along with a vote for www.fark.com for the esteemed lifetime achievement award). She's got some tasty recipes for sure. Anyone resurrecting the much maligned American Bundt cake gets a hat tip from me anytime. I plan to make this & halve it immediately after cooling cake but before spooning on topping - will add topping to each half with the best looking one going IMMEDIATELY to dear neighbor's home as I strongly suspect this could become a main meal substitute if allowed to remain in toto in our house, LOL.
