Tip

You can choose to have 2 apples and 2 pears but i prefer the soft texture of the pear.

A lighter version would be to use 4 tbsp of milk in stead of 2 tbsp of cream and 2 tbsp of milk.

For a GF version i used  Orgran GF plain flour.

    Tasty! However, mine turned out like a pudding. The kids loved it though! I baked it for 1.5hr. I think the pears were too soft and ended up minced throughout the mixture which contributed to the pudding texture. I also think another 25g of flour may help! Will bake it again!

    This was delicious!! I used about 150g of flour and 40min was the perfect cooking time. My pears may have been a little soft as they weren't the big 'chunks' as expected, but I could have not mixed them in on speed 4 or for as long.

    I will definitly be making this again! tmrc_emoticons.)

    Really yummy dessert. Was a bit worried I had made some mistake in the recipe as butter seemed to bubble up around the edges but when I turned it out there was no problems. Quite a dense batter type cake but lovely warm with Icecream! Added blueberries as well that I had that needed to be used up.

    This recipe was a hit for morning tea at work, I added extra flour (due to comments made) and it was awesome, will make this a lot!

    Yum. Great winter dessert.  Quantities provided were fine in my oven. I warmed the water and yeast together first (37degC 1min speed 1) before adding flour. I also I used 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (will use vanilla bean on guests not family to save $). Thanks for posting!  tmrc_emoticons.)

    Very easy but agree needs more flour or less liquid, I needed to bake a further 15 mins, also grease well because despite using non stick pan and spray oil I had problems getting it out.  if your pears are very ripe suggest slowly stir in Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" for less time as mine disappeared into mix. none of this stopped it being devoured tmrc_emoticons.)

    This cake was delicious and very easy to make... I might just add another 25g of flour next time or reduce the butter very slightly... 

    I used the 4tbsp milk instead of 2 cream and 2 milk (as that is what I ad on hand) and it turned out great tmrc_emoticons.)
