Can you feel autumn taking its quarters? The weather is cooling off, the rain is looming… What to take advantage of this to prepare for this Pear-vanilla bundt cake & creamy maple syrup icing!
For those who are interested, I will communicate to you at the bottom of the article the link of the mold I used for this recipe.
But let's get to our bundt cake! Pear is really for me, a delicious autumn fruit… I love to eat it as it is, but in a cake it really brings that little sweet and sweet touch that we all love!
So that this bundt is very soft, the pear is brought here in cubes and also grated (no need to grate it finely, a large grater does the trick). It's a bit like the carrot cake recipe in which we add grated carrot you know? For the vanilla side, I recommend a nice vanilla bean, but you can also use vanilla extract if you have it on hand.
The creamy frosting gives the cake extra sweetness (although you can also make it without frosting). It is partly made with Philadelphia cream cheese, which really gives a special twist (I also put it in my carrot cakes). And the delicate scent of maple syrup… What could be more autumnal?
I give you the recipe for the pear-vanilla bundt cake & creamy maple syrup icing below, if you realize it, do not hesitate to share it on Instagram by tagging me. @liliebakery so I can see your accomplishments!
Pear-vanilla bundt cake & creamy maple syrup icing
Ingredients:
Pear-vanilla bundt cake
- 195 g wheat or spelled flour
- 50 g light brown sugar
- 50 g dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cc baking soda
- 1/2 cc salt
- 2 small eggs
- 130 ml Colza oil
- 1 large pear, peeled, seeded and diced (Williams variety for me)
- 1 large pear, peeled, seeded and coarsely grated
- 1 vanilla pod
Creamy maple syrup icing
- 115 g nature philadelphia
- 60 ml whole liquid cream
- 2 cs Maple syrup
- 1/2 cc vanilla (grains or liquid)
- water
- 1 small handle pecan nuts
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 165 ° traditional heat. Grease and flour a bundt cake mold (mine makes 6 cups, I give you the link at the bottom of the article).
- Combine the flour, sugars, baking soda and salt. Separately, relax the eggs with a fork and add the vanilla and oil. Pour the dry ingredients in several batches. Finish by adding the grated pear and the diced pear.
- Pour into the mold and tap on the work surface to expel any air bubbles. Bake for about 40-45 minutes instead on the bottom rack of the oven: test the doneness using a wooden pick.
- Let cool for 15 minutes in the mold then unmold on a rack until completely cooled.
- To make the icing, pour the philadelphia, cream, maple syrup and vanilla into a saucepan. Whisk everything then heat over medium heat for a few minutes to obtain a homogeneous and smooth mixture. Add water if necessary to obtain the desired consistency. Let cool until the cream can coat the cake well (neither too runny nor too thick). Pour the cream over the bundt cake.
- Sprinkle with a little pecans before serving

Super good this recipe. Delicious, all the flavors are well balanced, easy… MIAM.
For my mate, it eclipses all the other pear cake recipes I've made (waw). The icing was really that little extra thing, we love it at home. Thank you for this discovery and this recipe :-)

Hello Lilie, I would like to make this delicious bundt soon. My mold is 10 to 12 cups I just wanted you to confirm to me that yours is half the size? Make sure I double the quantities. Thank you so much. Very good weekend.

Thank you for this excellent recipe which was a great success at work this morning, there is not a crumb left! The texture is crazy and the pear/philadelphia/maple syrup/pecan combination works WONDERFULLY. To do again and again! :)

Thank you Mathilde for your feedback! :)
Anne Laure
This bundt cake is delicious! For lack of time (and of Philadelphia too…) I didn't make the icing but I put some pecan nuts in the dough, it was great! My colleagues did not leave a crumb. I will make it again with the icing which looks very very good…
Thanks for the recipe and all the others I tried…
Lilie bakery
Thank you Anne-Laure for your return and your loyalty to the blog! See you soon :)

Hello,
I made your recipe, I had a huge cooking problem, the cake was well cooked on the outside but not at all on the inside (silicone mold) but I put it on traditional heat and a total of an hour unlike the 40 minutes recommended. (I'm not giving up hope, I'm going to order a good mold from Nordic Ware and try again.
And the icing is super good but I don't understand it remains liquid (even several days later). Do you have an explanation?
Thanks again !
Lilie bakery
Hello Amandine, silicone is a material that does not conduct heat at all like metal. Cooking is different – and longer. I have already experienced this. This is why bundt cakes, cakes, anything that is high enough to bake, I always use a metal mold. For the icing it is creamy, that's how I created it: I didn't want a icing that sets, but rather a icing that remains delicious and creamy. See you soon :)
