Reviews
I made the cake and added one teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. My preference is cinnamon in the cake and not in the frosting. The cake is delicious!
When I first cut into the cake I thought that it looked soggy because of the pears but it turned out that although it was quite moist it did still have a firm spring to it. This is the perfect recipe for using up all the canned pears I have in storage and the cinnamon flavored icing was the perfect combination for this cake. The cake itself is not terribly sweet but the icing makes up for it.
Love this icing going to use it again this Tuesday night for my husband birthday cake it was a hit at my daughter’s baby shower
