Every woman needs a good fall spice cake in her recipe repertoire. Recently, I was able to have a baking day with my mom and we had a fabulous time coming up with our very own fall spice cake recipe. Lots of wine was drank, laughs were had, and memories made... Plus, we now have this awesome cake recipe that I know I'll be making over and over again this fall.This fall pear spice cake oozes with moisture. A little bit of citrus, a little be of walnuts, and a whole lotta flavor! We've been on the road for 6 out of the last 8 weekends. The end of summer almost did us in. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see my family much during that time, and a couple of weeks ago I was really missing my parents. So, I called up mom and told her my idea. I wanted to make our own recipe together! We brain stormed ideas and decided we'd make up a fall spice cake.This fall pear spice cake oozes with moisture. A little bit of citrus, a little be of walnuts, and a whole lotta flavor! We wanted our cake to embody the true flavors of fall: cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, pear, and nuts! We also decided to add in a little bit of citrus in the mix. I think fall citrus is one of the most underrated fall flavors. Oranges are GREAT in fall. Fabulous, actually. So we added in some orange flavor, too.Not only is this fall spice cake delicious, it's absolutely gorgeous. I mean, seriously. How pretty is this cake?This fall pear spice cake oozes with moisture. A little bit of citrus, a little be of walnuts, and a whole lotta flavor! It felt so great to make something this special with my mom. My earliest memories involve me on a chair pulled up to the counter with a wooden spoon in my hand. I was my mom's little helper in the kitchen, and I value those memories so much. I learned how to cook by watching her. My mom is one of those cooks who doesn't measure. She just throws in a little bit of this, and a little bit of that and pretty much all of her recipes turn out to be winners. Now, I find myself doing the same thing. Funny how that works, huh? The older I get, the more I see my mom in my personality.fallspicecake (7)Dad has always been the designated family recipe taster and rating system coordinator.
