Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 35
  2. Butter and flour a 9-in. tube pan* or 10- to 11-cup nonstick Bundt pan, knocking out excess flour.
  3. Combine brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Slice pears lengthwise 1/3 in. thick if using tube pan or chop if using Bundt pan.
  4. Make cake: Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer until fluffy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping inside of bowl after each addition. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean and add to bowl (save pod for another use).
  6. Add syrup and sour cream; beat to combine.
  7. Combine dry ingredients.
  8. Add to batter and beat on low speed until blended; batter will be thick.
