OOOh ya. Miss my pear tree but love this cake. Have you tried it with rum instead of water?? mmmmm

 

[angak1]

A rum version is cooling right now

I am so glad that so many enjoy this cake!

It is one of my favorites and look forward to a chance to make it.

With just 2 of us at home, I tend to not bake unless I'm taking dessert to a gathering. Perhaps this would be ideal for a Farm to Table potluck in October!

Ang how did the rum version turn out? I bought pears at the market this morning

in hopes of making this this weekend!

Putting my 2 cents in here...it's fantastic with rum!

 

[angak1]

ditto. not too much rum to make a big difference, but nice. I have made it with cider too

Of all the rums I've used in this, the best is the dark and spicy.

And I always TRY to leave the cake for at least a week before diving into it.
