Good cake, but I wouldn't save it for fancy company. Make sure to get good flavorfull pears that are ripe(we used bosc and they were only OK). When I took it out of the oven, the top was soggy. My husband, who annoys me with his cooking skills, had the great idea to put the whole cake(pear side up) on a cookie sheet and place it under the broiler to carmelize the pears and carmel. It added a nice warm buttery flavor and also added a little crisp to the top. This also made the cake more attractive to serve. All in all, a good recipe but alot of work with only 3 star results(maybe 4 after our alteration).

I really liked this recipe, but I tweeked it. I'm not a big cake fan so I "umphed" up the cake with applesauce and powdered sugar and a touch of milk. I had only two pears, but that was plenty so having three would be super great! The caramel is so good and when you flip it over, the caramel drizzles down. I did put it under the broiler for a few minutes after I flipped it over like the other reviewer suggested. I LOVED IT (and so did the hubby)! And I gave some to our neighbors who loved it as well!
