Oh yum! Very similar to bread pudding and I think it has just the right amount of sweetness to it. I used Almond milk instead of regular milk and also added a tsp of pumpkin pie spice to the mix. Baked it in my Pampered Chef 9in stoneware baker for 30 minutes and it came out perfect. The only problem, some of it stuck to the bottom but it worked out because I got to sample a little bit ;-) Thank you for posting!

this recipe was awesome. I did a few things differently and it just tured out great. I sliced the pears really thin instead of chopping them and probably added a few more than 2 pounds. it gave a really elegant look to the cake. and i also drizzled chocolate on top by melting two blocks of semi sweet bakers chocolate on a double boiler with some light cream. I severed it at a get-together and there wasn't a peice left over!!! I would totally recomend this to anyone and everyone to try once, cause after that you'll love it forever!!

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home.
I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!)
I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
