Yield: 12-16 Servings

20 40 60

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup orange juice
FILLING:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped peeled ripe pear
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon butter, melted
GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons orange juice

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with orange juice just until combined (batter will be stiff).
Spoon half of the batter into a greased 10-in. tube pan. Combine the filling ingredients; sprinkle half over batter. Carefully spread remaining batter over the top; sprinkle with remaining filling. Cut through with a knife to swirl.
Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients until smooth; drizzle over cake. Yield: 12-16 servings.
