Golden Pear Snack Cake

The last time I posted was in April, a lot of things have happened since then...good things.  I moved from Pennsylvania to Kentucky and got married.  To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.
 My husband and I live a quiet life on Gilberts Creek.  There's lots of  country, beautiful country and plenty of fresh air and sunshine.  I"m blessed to be married to a handsome, energetic, creative man and I"m going to take very good care of him.  Paul had the first piece of this snack cake and said that  ....it was perfect.  From the amount of cinnamon to the right amount of sweetness it all balanced out very well.  It was originally an apple cake but since our neighbor has a pear tree I decided to use them.  The first thing I noticed about the cake while I was mixing the batter is that it was very thick, I double checked the recipe to see if I had forgotten any liquid...no, no ingredient missing so into the pan it went.  While baking it produces a very nice crusty brown top that goes very well with the soft pears.  This is an excellent cake for a quick dessert, it comes together easily and the results are fantastic.  Enjoy!
