This cake was easy to make with clear instructions that worked well. The cake is lovely. Not a rich, heavy chocolate cake at all but we both really enjoyed it with a coffee.
The top was lovely and crispy and it cut like a dream. The pears really make it and as I used a bit bigger pan than stated, I could have easily added just a few more slices to the middle.
I can't remember ever using yeast in a cake like this before but I guess there must be a reason for it.
I only had double cream in my fridge so added a dollop of that to serve, but I think just a little pouring cream would be perfect.
Not sure how it will keep as it's not an overly moist cake, so I will make sure that I wrap it up when fully cool.
