Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. In 9-inch round or 8-inch square pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange pear slices in single layer on sugar mixture; sprinkle with pecans.
2 In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients except whipped cream with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on medium speed 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pear slices and pecans.
3 Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake a few minutes so brown sugar mixture can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream. Store cake loosely covered.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use 1 to 2 large fresh peaches instead of the pear.

Add a sweet cinnamon-packed punch to this luscious treat by stirring a dash or two of ground cinnamon into the whipped cream just before topping and serving.

Made this the other day & it's absolutely delicious. I used Bisquick Heart Smart & bartlett pears. My husband said it was the best dessert I've made in 28 years of marriage!

I had a lot of pears, and I mean a lot, so I was looking for all different ways to use them up, besides canning. Found this recipe and it is a winner.
