This recipe is a fail. The coffee cake didn't rise and it was way too dense.

I found this coffee cake to be a bit dry. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved this coffee cake. The pears really balance out the tartness of the cranberries.

This cranberry pear coffee cake was a hit at my last brunch party! The combination of tart cranberries and sweet pears was perfect, and the cake itself was moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
