This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the pears were undercooked. I won't be making this recipe again.

I love that this recipe uses fresh pears. It gives the cake a really unique flavor that you don't get from using canned pears.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dry and the pears weren't caramelized. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out beautifully.

I'm not much of a baker, but this recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great! I was worried about the caramelized pears, but they were so simple to make and added so much flavor to the cake. I'll definitely be making this again.
