Bartlett pears, the luscious and buttery pears with the ultimate "pear" flavor, great for baking but also delicious on their own, are required for this dish. Bartlett pears have a green exterior and white flesh on the inside. Simply press near the stem to feel whether the flesh yields a little, which indicates ripeness. If your pears are too green to use, leave them out at room temperature for a few days or add them in a bowl with bananas to speed up the process. Ethene, a gas produced by bananas, aids in the ripening process. Serve this delectable pear streusel with a dollop of whipped cream on top, or make it a complete dessert by serving it with vanilla ice cream on the side, as well as a few bits of dried pear and chopped walnuts for crunch. This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to four days if covered.

With all of the upcoming Christmas events and parties, I think this would make a great hostess present if youâre into that sort of thing.

That's all I'm saying. This is a fantastic breakfast option.
Instructions: 1/2 teaspoon almond extract STREUSEL: Combine 2/3 cup Homemade Baking Mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small basin. Using a pastry blender or butter knives, cut in the butter until it is crumbly; leave aside. CAKE: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all of the coffee cake ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overwork the batter. 1 cup of batter should be spread in the pan. Using about 3/4 cup of the streusel, top the cake. Pour the remaining batter over the streusel and spread it evenly. Top with the leftover streusel. Preheat oven to 200°F and bake for 20–24 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow 30 minutes to rest before serving. ALMOND GLAZE: Whisk together all of the ingredients for the almond glaze until it's thin enough to drizzle. Pour glaze over the warm coffee cake. Recipe Betty Crocker's recipe was adapted.
