Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the pears by peeling, coring, and dicing them. This should take around 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cardamom, baking powder, and salt for about 5 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until dissolved, then mix in cooled melted butter; this takes about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, then fold in the pears; takes about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan, bake in preheated oven at 350°F for 50-60 minutes.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
