Really very good, and pretty too. I had larger pears, so I only needed two. Used the 8" pan.
Read MoreThis cake was wonderful. I used chopped crystallized ginger, which worked very nicely. I sometimes have trouble getting cakes neatly out of the pan, but this one slid right out and looked very professional. This recipe is a keeper!
Read MoreThis was FABULOUS! You need to like ginger though. I made it in an 8in pan as recommended and served it with rum raisin ice cream. It was outstanding and i will be making this again very soon.
Read MoreI don't typically like gingerbread because it's crunchy rather than chewy. This was so moist and flavorful. The pears were a great combination with the gingerbread. I agree with another reviewer who thought this would be great with ice cream. Maybe when it gets cold I'll have to do that!! I will definitely make this again, and I encourage you to make this as well!
Read MoreWhat a delicious treat! I've made this cake several times, and believe me, it goes quickly around our house. I have always been a fan of gingerbread, but the pears with ginger just add a little something special. I made this just a few weeks ago, but there's something about that fresh ginger that made my mouth water every time I thought about it, so I doubled the cake recipe and made a sheet cake, omitting the pears mixed with ginger and lemon juice. Simply scrumptious!
Read MoreI really liked the flavor of this dessert. It's well balanced and flavorful. Lovely served warm with ice cream. I might make it for Christmas dinner - the only minor change I will make is to use a smaller-diameter pan, such as an 8-inch. I would personally prefer the cake to be a bit thicker.
