After reading this recipe, I knew this is a dessert that everyone in my family would love. However, I didn’t have apples in my refrigerator, only pears. So I changed this recipe from apples to pears. That’s not the only ingredient I changed. I really don’t like regular raisins. So therefore I switched regular raisins for golden raisins.
With these minor changes, the cake was delicious. I used brandy in the raisins and glaze, which intensified the pears and added moistness to this cake. This cake improves with age, so make it a couple of days in advance and you will still have a scrumptious cake. I froze leftovers and I can only imagine how yummy this dessert will be when thawed!!! Serve this cake with ice cream or whipped cream, and you will forever be the most popular chef in your house.
I found this recipe in a small magazine from the cooking club. If you want to make this wonderful cake for the holidays, make it now and freeze it. Take it out of the freezer the day before Thanksgiving. You will be that far ahead of the game.
