For a richer flavor, try browning the butter before making the frosting. This adds a nutty depth that complements the cinnamon beautifully. If you don't have pear halves in juice, you can use fresh pears, peeled, cored, and chopped. Add 1/4 cup of apple juice or water to the batter to replace the moisture from the canned pear juice. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper before greasing and flouring. This cake is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It can also be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
