All I can say is YUM!!! I made this for our Thanksgiving dessert to try something a little different. I had trouble finding the gingerbread cake mix so I used the spice cake mix instead. This was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try it with the gingerbread. Thanks for a great recipe Mallinda! :)

This turned out quite good. I used a boxed spice cake mix since I had one in the pantry. I'm betting it would be even better with a homemade spice cake or homemade gingerbread cake. I omitted the pecans since I am mildly allergic to them. The main complaint I have about this recipe is that it did not fit in a 9" cake pan. I did not think it would but trusted the recipe and reviewer's comments. I had enough cake batter for a 9" cake, 6 cupcakes, and still had a little bit of batter left over. Maybe I used a bigger cake mix than the 14.5oz that the recipe called for; I didn't think to check since I thought they were all the same. I believe I used Duncan Heinz. If I make it again using that cake mix, I will probably make two 9" cakes or a 9x13" cake.

Beautiful cake. I used canned pears and cut up one fresh pear to fill in. Personally I thought the cake was too heavy, sweet and rich and actually may have liked it more using a spice cake mix rather than the gingerbread cake mix the recipe calls for. I wouldnt make it again.

This cake was absolutely delicious! It didn't take to long to make it, and it was good. I wanted spice cake, but we found this recipe instead and I am glad we did. It was a great cake!

The Cake turned out OK. I should have used the pan specified in the directions. The cake needs to be eaten within a few days of baking.

This cake was very simple to make and was a hit! A dollop of cool whip is the perfect finish. The only thing I did differently was to use the juice from the can (*lite pears = pear JUICE, not syrup) as part of the water called for in the cake mix. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it's been saved to my recipe box :o)
