I have a hard time getting my family to eat pears and they are one of my favorite winter fruits plus I''m always looking for honey recipes since we live in the middle of bee keepers and honey companies. This cake does a remarkable job on both points. My teenage girls where helping me make the topping and weren''t that impressed with my idea not to broil the topping(to much trouble), but I''m glad I did because it really finished the cake and took it from desert to a special treat and I did do the whip cream and cinnamon. This has found a permenant place in my recipes, it''s moist and comforting. **The only thing I would change is, I will puree or process the pears next time since my finely diced pears didn''t hold up to the baking anyway, so why take the time to dice.
