Pear Frangipane Cake

I made this lovely cake today exactly as the recipe states. I may try vanilla essence instead of lime juice next time, to see the difference but it’s rather delicious as it is

I made this this evening and took the advice of one of the reviewers. I used vanilla and almond extract not lime juice. I also chopped some pear and put in the frangipane. Cooked for 40-45 mins. Delicious and easy.

I have had 3 goes at making this cake and have now perfected my version of it! I only bake it for 40 minutes as it is done by then, and was too dry after 50-55 minutes. I have also added a few drops of vanilla and almond essence to the batter instead of lime juice, and added a chopped pear to the batter as well. Simple and delicious, and a good way to use the pears from our pear trees.

Made this scrummy cake this morning. It's delicious! I used light muscovado instead of caster sugar and lemon juice instead of lime juice. Still perfect and not much left now...

Great recipe. I added ground cardamom to mine. The combo of pear and cardamom was lovely.

Lovely cake - I used teaspoon of vanilla essence instead of lime juice - easy to make, healthy and delicious; freezes well - I make this often.

I loved the simplicity of this recipe - I didn't have a lime so used an orange instead. It was a great tea time treat. Only complaint - it didn't last long on the plate!! I may have to make a bigger one next time. Another great Doves recipe . Thank you !

Loved this! Personally I really liked the live. I had to bake it for more than 40-45 minutes though. I tried adding cocoa powder to make a chocolate version but it wasn’t great. Stick to the recipe and this is really yummy

Have made this a number of times, subbing in apples and ginger, pear and cardamom, and lemon instead of lime. Quick, easy and delicious. Yum

I personally think that the lime doesn’t go quite as well than if you were to just use vanilla extract. Nevertheless it still tasted good.

I'm sure this tastes even better with fresh pears, but I'm here to tell you it was absolutely delicious with tinned pears too! In fact, I bet some other fresh or tinned fruits would work just as well. I also used lemon instead of lime as that's what I had. Super simple, and relatively low in sugar - I served it with plain yoghurt, and it was a winner for our whole family, Thanks for the recipe!

Loved this. Followed recipe exactly. Very easy and so tasty.
