  1. A great cake even though directions needed a little tweaking. The recipe didn't give the size for the can of pears so I used a 14 oz. can and reserved the pear juice for the drizzle. To determine the pan size, I checked other recipes with similar quantities of ingredients, and used a bundt pan which worked out fine. Good with a great cup of coffee or tea.
     
  2. I had a couple of problems with this recipe. First of all, there is no mention of the pan size, and 1-1/2 hours to cook a cake at 325 degrees seemed like crispy crittur time to me. I made the recipe in a 9x13 pan and baked it for about 40 minutes. It was done, but this is a very heavy cake without any leavening -- it was more like a brownie than a cake. Perhaps I didn't do it right, but w/o better directions, I did the best I could. I wouldn't make it again unless I knew that I had done something wrong and had not given the recipe a fair shake.
