Instructions
To make the topping:
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
To make the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Toss the pears with 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Gently stir the pears into the cake batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges have slightly pulled away from the edge of the pan.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
