Mmmm, couldn’t wait for after dinner to try this lovely Pear cake and it’s delicious. I didn’t have any ground almonds so I sprinkled about 3 tbspns of dessicated coconut in at the end and it works really well. Will try with ground almonds next time. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi Mac, I am glad you and your daughter liked it. This recipe is probably my favourite cake recipe – it goes down well at dinner parties! I haven’t tried it with custard but that sounds delicious. and I am always a fan of mascarpone

Hi Lauren,

Thanks so much for this recipe! I & my 11 year old daughter made this and it was fantastic! Sooo delicious! crunchy on the outside and soft and yummy on the inside. The family loved it. It has become ‘The pudding cake’ in our household. The best thing is that its so easy. Love it. I serve it with custard or next time I make it I will serve it with mascarpone.

Thanks for a prompt reply, I have a glut of pears from my tree so am finding different ways of using them, and ways of trying to save some of the goodies for later. I will probably try freezing one and let you know what happens.

Daisy – I don’t know, I don’t have a big enough freezer to store cakes in (so I just have to eat them all quickly). In my opinion this cakes tastes much better straight out of the oven than it does on the second day, so maybe freezing wouldn’t be the best idea…

If you do try it frozen let me know how it goes!
