Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. My mother is a fabulous cook. This truly delicious Bundt cake is her recipe. It is a fabulous cake made with juicy summer peaches and fresh pears. I made it for the first time when I was 14. Carrying on her culinary history, I make it often for my family. The moist texture comes from the ingredients and method of preparation. Ingredients:
3 ripe pears |
3 ripe peaches |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 cups sugar, divided |
1 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 cup honey |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
3 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
reynolds wrap foil |
2 cups water |
1 cup heavy cream |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 teaspoons powdered sugar |

1. Preheat oven to 300°F Generously grease and flour dust a Bundt pan.
2. Peel, core and dice pears and peaches. Put in a bowl and toss with cinnamon and 1/2 cup of the sugar; set aside.
3. In large mixing bowl, mix the remaining sugar, oil, honey, lemon juice,and vanilla. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the batter alternating with the eggs. Mix well after each addition. Fold in the peaches and pears with their juices. Pour into the prepared bundt pan.
