Yield:
1 (10-inch) Bundt cake

Ingredients

  • 4 cups peeled, cored and chopped pears

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 4 egg whites

  • cup canola oil

  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Combine pears and sugar in a large bowl; let stand for one hour.

  2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

  3. Slightly beat egg whites; combine with oil, chopped pecans, and pear mixture.

  4. Mix flour, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves together; stir into pear mixture. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
