This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The pears were cooked perfectly and the cake was moist and flavorful. I would definitely make this cake again, but I would use less sugar next time.

This cake was a bit denser than I expected, but it was still very good. The flavor was great and the pears were a nice addition. I would definitely make this cake again, but I might try using a different type of flour to see if I can get a lighter te
