I don't usually like cakes that start with a cake mix, but this one is wonderfully tasty and moist! I use light sour cream and have also substituted non-fat vanilla yogurt for the sour cream.

This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe with some applesauce or sour cream.

This cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry and flavorless, and the pears were tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this cake again.
