Ingredients you’ll need for Chai Spiced Pear Breakfast Cake

Here is everything you need to make Chai Spiced Pear Breakfast Cake:

  • 2 medium ripe pears peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar you can use brown or white sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Chai Spiced Pear Breakfast Cake

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F), then lightly grease and line your baking pan so the cake won’t stick, and while the oven heats, peel, core, and dice the pears into small, even pieces so they cook evenly and stay soft and juicy inside the cake.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cloves, stirring everything together slowly and carefully so the spices are evenly spread throughout the dry mixture and every bite of cake has that warm chai flavor.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly creamy, taking your time to blend everything well so the cake turns out soft and moist.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a spatula or spoon just until everything is combined, making sure not to overmix because that can make the cake dense instead of light and fluffy. Carefully fold in the diced pears, spreading them evenly through the batter so each slice of cake gets plenty of sweet fruit, then pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top so it bakes evenly.

Step 5

Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35–40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, then let the cake cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing so it sets properly and is easier to serve.
