This cake is moist and delicious especially when served warm with whipped cream. It is a very attractive cake. It looks and tastes as though you went to a lot of trouble, but it is really so easy and quick to throw together. Serve warm cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped topping.

I was hesitant to try this cake because I'm not a big fan of pears, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pears added a subtle sweetness and moisture to the cake, and the chocolate and spices really complemented them.
