I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The cake turned out great! It was just as moist and flavorful as the original recipe.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover pears. I also like that it's not too sweet, so it's a nice option for breakfast or a snack.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, the cake was moist and flavorful, and the pears added a nice touch.
