This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears left over after I make a pie or crisp, and this cake is the perfect way to use them up.

I've made this cake with both maple syrup and honey and both versions are delicious. I prefer the maple syrup version, but the honey version is a nice alternative.
