Leah's Notes:

This recipe comes from my husband's sweet grandma (Moma Chloe). She made everything with love and a smile! This cake is very moist and freezes well.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

With no icing, this cake is so darn easy to transport... which is good since you'll be getting requests for it from all corners! It's sweet and fruity with a healthy hint of cinnamon.

Directions

Mix pears and sugar then refrigerate overnight.

Next day, add oil and eggs and stir well.

Add dry ingredients. Mix well, then fold in nuts, coconut and vanilla.

Bake at 350 for one hour and 10 mins. in a 9 x 13 pan.

We don't frost it! ha Didn't even think about that! ha It is more like a coffee cake or a sweet bread. Very dense.

In your recipe it call for flour is that All-Purpose, or Self-rising? I guess it All-Purpose because it calls for baking soda, I'm I right? The recipe sound good and I'm going to make it as soon as I'm sure about the flour. I wish all recipes that calls for flour that it would say which flour to use. Thanks for your time!

OMGosh! Sounds divine! Now I can say "yes" to my neighbors who ask me to come over and pick their pear tree as the neighborhood rabbit is making a mess in their yard!! A seemingly endless supply of pears. Thanks for this recipe...
