I love Fall Baking Season! There’s something about apples, pears, pumpkins and cinnamon that makes us feel warm and cozy.
And my baking just got easier because of Calphalon Premier™ Countertop Safe Bakeware 6-Piece Set.
These non-stick baking pans have a high-performance release and with heat resistant no-slip silicone feet, they protect countertops from burn damage!
The set is available on Amazon.com
The set includes:
- Large cookie sheet
- 9″” round cake pan
- 9X13 brownie pan
- 5X10 large loaf pan
- 8″” square cake pan
- 12 cup muffin pan
This is actually my dream baking set! The 9 inch round baking pan was perfect for my Easy Pear Cranberry Walnut One Layer Cake.
Here’s how I made it:
Mix wet ingredients for the cake. I prefer to use oil in my cakes instead of butter because oil makes the cake softer. It is a preference, but you can easily substitute the oil with 1/2 cup of softened butter if you prefer.
Add the dry ingredients and mix in a stand mixer. Pour into a parchment lined, buttered and flour 9 inch round pan. Using the parchment is not a necessity. The cake will not stick either way. These Calphalon Premier™ pans are extremely non-stick. I just find it easier to lift the cake up with the parchment on it.
Cut each pear in half. Core and slice them, but keep the halves together. Arrange pear slices halves on top of the batter in a pattern. Turning the pear halves in different directions. Add the cranberries and walnuts. Then, sprinkle the top with a cinnamon sugar mix. Bake for and hour, then cool on a wire rack.
This cake makes a great holiday dessert!
The Calphalon Premier™ Countertop Safe Bakeware 6-Piece Set is one of the best sets around. So, if you’re looking for a new baking pan set, this is the set for you!
