- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar

For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is well combined. Fold in the diced pears.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
