Gingerbread Pear Cake image

I was given some pears and didn't know what to do with them so went on a search for recipes. I found a recipe titled "Dark Gingerbread Pear Cake" on a blog www.sassyradish.com . Of course I had to make some substitutions and alterations to make it my own but the basic recipe is still the same. It made the house smell heavenly!

Overall, I thought this cake was pretty good. The gingerbread flavor was nice, and the pears added a nice sweetness. I would probably make it again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The gingerbread flavor was nice, and the pears were a nice addition. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make this cake.
