Baking Day

I woke up Friday morning in the mood to bake. Sooo I looked around the pantry to see what I could come up with and decided to make Pear Cake, German Chocolate Cookies, Chewy Chocolate Walnut Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Keepin it real. I'm a very messy cook.

The cookies are delicious. The Chocolate Chewy ones were the big hit. I love the German Chocolate ones with just a little coconut.

I love how the pear cake came out. Very heavy and fall tasting. My family is happy all of the cookie jars are full.

Happy Fall Y'all


Pear Cake

1 1/2 c vegetable oil

2 c. sugar

2 eggs

Mix well. Add:

3 c. finely chopped, peeled canning pears

1 c pecans

3 c flour

1 t soda

1 t salt

1 t apple pie spice

2 t vanilla

Mix well. The batter is very very heavy.

Bake at 300 degrees until brown (about 40 minutes) in two 9-in pans or 3 8-in pans. You may also use a tube pan for this cake. The tube pan will take considerably longer check it every 10 minutes after the first 40 minutes.
