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!
