Can substitute apples for pears.

I overbaked this a bit, but we still enjoyed the pears and slight tang from the sour cream. Will repeat.

Very nice, low effort cake. Make sure to use ripe pears as the bake time isn't long enough to soften underripe fruit.

We loved this cake. Very quick and easy as well as delicious. Definitely will make again.

As mentioned by another reviewer great effort to outcome ratio. Delicious quick to make cake!

Inspired by the positive reviews here and my love for pears, I made this cake with high hopes. It's not bad, but it's not a keeper for me. I'd rather have a drier, denser crumb.

Wonderful little cake! I used a glass pan and baked at 325 f until brown around edges. Not too sweet, just right.

The center of the cake didn't seem done until it baked 60 min, probably due to the large amount of pears. In hindsight, 55 min might have been enough, as the edges were slightly dry, although the center was still very moist - again, probably due to the large amount of pears. It was really good!

This was a surprise hit. I wasn't expecting a lot out of a humble pear cake, but it was so beautifully balanced with everything in just the right proportions. We couldn't stop eating this.

Our neighbor gave us a bunch of nice, ripe pears, so I decided to give this recipe a try. Delicious! Quite easy to make and very tasty.

This is really delicious. It is also simple to make- a great effort/result ratio!

This is an amazing cake. The oil and sour cream makes it very tender and the cinnamon spice is just right. The only problem is it disappeared too quickly. Next time I will double recipe and bake in 9x13 pan.
