    Dear Lord,  So far today,  I haven't gossiped, lost my temper, been grumpy, nasty or selfish. I haven't whinged or eaten any chocolate! However,I'm going to get out of bed in a few minutes & I'll need a lot more help after that! Amen

  •  I have made this cake many

    Submitted by Lyns Kitchen on 22. January 2012 - 14:15.

     I have made this cake many times  and it is always delicious. The pears need to be very firm so as they don't chop up too much.

     When I serve as a dessert I serve with A Berry dream made with Goosberries, the tartness of the berries compliments the sweetness of the cake, plus a dob of Yog.

    My friend and fellow consultant Georgia Carr has converted to a gluten free version. YUM.

    This recipe originally came from an old Gourmet Traveller magazine
