Quick Pear Streusel Coffee Cake

QUICK PEAR STREUSEL

COFFEE CAKE

MAKES ONE 8-INCH SQUARE CAKE; SERVES 8

My grandma Elsie on my mother’s side was a great baker in the Austro-Hungarian tradition. Strudels, poppy seed cakes, coffee cakes, and cookies always seemed to be in her kitchen when we visited. I found a great apple streusel coffee cake recipe in her card files when I became the keeper of those treasures. Here it is, revived, with my little twist of using pears instead of apples.

FOR THE CAKE

Unsalted butter, for the baking dish

1¼ cups all-purpose flour

2¼ teaspoons baking powder

½ cup sugar

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

½ cup whole milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 ripe pears (I like Bartlett), unpeeled, cored and chopped (1½ cups)

FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING

½ cup sugar

¼ cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut up

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
