Recipes should always provide the size of the tin/pan - "cake tin" provides no useful information - 07 Oct 2014
I had been given some pears by a friend and they were becoming quite ripe as my children did not like them. So I searched pears and found this recipe. Glad I did, kids got off the school bus and the cake was gone in five minutes. Pears eaten, nothing wasted and hungry children satisfied. I loved it too, but thankfully they ate most of it so my waist line was saved. - 23 Apr 2012
