This cake was a disappointment. The pears were hard and the topping was too sour.

This pear cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This pear cake with sour cream topping was a hit at my last dinner party! The pears were perfectly soft and juicy, and the sour cream topping added a delightful tang. I'll definitely be making this again.
