I just made that pear and almond cake. It is the best cake ever.

It beats apple cake. It is really worth a go here it is

mmmm saw it last night, it's on my list for the weekend baking I'm drooling just thinking about it now.

Did you serve it with cream/custard/alone?

We had it with Jersey extra thick double cream

custard would be good too

[Homer Simpson drool gaaaaaaaaaahhhhh]

Didn't watch HFW last night after he opened with porridge but that cake looks delicious and I will be making it this weekend.
Thanks for the link.

should have mentioned that it took about an hour too cook, not thirty five minutes.

TO cook

Glad you posted the longer time too!

Is it Hugo Furby Whitsable?

I saw that and copied down the recipe. I thought he was going to die of ecstacy eating it. And then I thought...yup that'll do for me

Gosh it must be good if it beats apple cake! I can't believe anything could be nicer than apple cake.

I like cooked pear with nut. Works well together.

Mmmmm, Sounds yummy!

I made Nigella's Chocolate and Pear Pudding last weekend - it was gorgeous, especially warm with custard

I know TsarChasm, I thought apple cake was as good as it gets.

I was wrong

I'm going to do this tomorrow as a treat to myself. I never get to bake anymore

Stirling - which book's that recipe in? They all sound lush!

Not sure which book strictly but found the recipe HERE.

My family said "we dont like pear" and then ate the lot!!

Made the pear and almond cake.

OMG It's luuuverly!

So much butter in it! Oh well... I'll restart the diet (again) tomorrow.

I made this tonight and it is absolutely delicious.
I had to change the proportions as I only had a 23cm tin but that just means more cake to eat!
