In reply to Elizabeth. Glad you liked it. I do the "flax egg" swap often. w-

Substitute the eggs with a flax egg and it’s a great delicious vegan pear cake.
I was lucky that we didn’t drop ours on the carpet prior to serving it.

I made it, and we love it! The recipe is a keeper for sure.

I hope you won't cringe if I share how I changed it a little bit. *blush* :-) Sometimes I find it helpful to read how others tweak recipes, so I hope it's okay if I share that here. First of all I was lazy and didn't peel the pears. lol I used whole wheat flour, and I used walnuts instead of pecans since that is all I had. And I added a little less sugar (about 1 3/4 cups) and made a glaze to put on top (my kids really, really wanted glaze on it ;)). I didn't add eggs (since we don't eat eggs) and instead added a teaspoon of baking powder and then at the very end after everything was mixed together added about a tablespoon of vinegar (to give it a little extra rising power since I didn't use eggs). Anyway, it really turned out wonderfully and is so yummy! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

I saw that you posted this last week and have been looking forward to trying this recipe. Pears are on sale right now, and I'm going to make the cake this week! I'll let you know how it turns out. 😀

Hi Wendy,

I found you on a blog hop list and will be following you. I have been looking for recipes using pears. My sister has a pear tree and lots and lots of pears. This recipe is perfect, thank you (and Granny) for sharing.
