I'm not a huge fan of pears, but I really enjoyed this cake. The ginger flavor was strong but not overpowering, and the cake itself was moist and flavorful. I would definitely make it again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The pears were perfectly cooked and the ginger added a nice touch of flavor. I would make it again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar.
