Creating the Salted Caramel Pear Cake involves several straightforward steps. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.
6. Fold in Pears: Gently fold in the diced pears until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
7. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Drizzle with Caramel: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle it with salted caramel sauce, allowing it to soak slightly into the cake.
11. Finish with Sea Salt: Just before serving, sprinkle sea salt on top of the caramel drizzle for an extra pop of flavor.

Follow these steps closely, and you’ll create a Salted Caramel Pear Cake that is sure to impress!
