They look absolutely delicious! I would love to try them with a cup of warm chocolate!
It is such a simple cake. Thank you for stopping by.

The dusting of confectioner’s sugar makes it all the more elegant. I really like your idea of measuring in jelly jars when you are setting up mise-en-place. They take up less space than bowls too.
Happy Thanksgiving.

The confectioner’s sugar does make it fancy, doesn’t it? Yes, on the jam jars, if the ingredients will fit it makes for a quick clean up. Even though this is a one-bowl recipe I have a terrible habit of forgetting ingredients so I like to pre-measure where I can.
Thanks for stopping by Sam. I hope you and Meakin have a Happy Thanksgiving.

This is a perfect cake as it uses both the fruits that we have in our orchard. Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving.
Karen, I wish we had access to your orchard. 🙂 I started to say you were lucky, but I know you worked hard for that orchard. I mean I am sure your apples and pears have real flavor. I think you will like this cake.
What a wonderful cake. And with a pedigree like that, I bet it is divine. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I suspect this is a very old recipe, but I can’t believe how simple. Thanks for stopping by Adri.
The cake looks heavenly, Madonna. I like your jelly jar idea for pre measuring ingredients, too. Now, which of the two desserts you mentioned is your favorite?
Happy Thanksgiving from my kitchen to yours!
This cake is delicious, but if I am having pie, Laura is my go-to now. It is incredible – not because of me, but because Laura did the work for me. My work was in passing along good info.:)
I hope you and yours have a Happy Thanksgiving.
What a simple cake; just the kind that I like to make. And a Greenspan/Lebovitz endorsement is not to be taken lightly. I love French style cakes. Have a happy Thanksgiving Madonna. I am thankful for you and your blog.
Penny, Dorie said there is a whole type of cooking out there she was not aware of. I think she is talking about grand-mère cooking, which is the recipes grandmothers made. They are simple yet delicious. I love the simplicity too.
Happy Thanksgiving Penny.
Your kind words made me tear up. Thank you so much for the kind words. I have so enjoyed making contact with likeminded people like you and all the others that take the time to leave me little notes of encouragement.
Cake looks awesome,beautiful
Thank you Jayanthi.
Apples and pears are not only a pretty but also a very tasty combination.
This cake is a great idea for winter days, I’m going to try it out asap.
Daniela, this works with apples or pears, or a combination. I hope you with give it a try.
Madonna
A very elegant cake and delicious, too!
Thanks Barbara. I did not think so much elegant as homey,like grandmother would whip up.
It is Thanksgiving weekend here. I am not sure if you all celebrate, but if so Happy Thanksgiving and if not have a great weekend.
Madonna
Just a lovely recipe — and I really like the combo of pears and apples in this. The taste of fall! Great recipe, wonderful pictures. Thanks. And Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks John. I would not have thought to mix them had I not heard Dorie say it was a good thing. Thanks for the positive feedback on my pictures. You always take such nice photos so for you to say nice things really makes me smile.
Wishing you and the Mrs. a happy holiday.

I gave someone a bunch of apples and pears from my garden last summer and they just about keeled over in ecstasy at the taste of the jam that they made, so I know this is a good fruit combination. Thanks so much for sharing at the Make it Monday Party! Hope to see you again next week.
Tamara, the thought of apples and pears from a garden sounds so good to me. Apples from the grocery store have long ago lost their flavor.
Yummy. Looks so scrumptious.
The cake is so easy I hope you will give it a try. Thanks for stopping by.
Is this from Dorie’s new book, Baking Chez Moi? That book looks amazing!
No, but I have that recipe I got from her interview. It is call custardy apple squares. It is almost the same, but the batter is almost a crêpe batter. I will post about it soon. Thanks for stopping by Wini.
I’ll definitely put some pears in mine!
Let me know if you make this with apples or pear – either way it is a great recipe. I love the simplicity of this cake. Thanks for stopping by Julia.
Simple cakes are usually the best ones! When you can always choose natural ingredients instead of buying weird ingredients! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Those weird ingredients has been my downfall. When I went back to the simplicity of cooking real food my health and life got significantly better. Thank you so much for stopping by Lily.
Looks amazing!!! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
Yeah!!! Thank you so much.
Wowwww
These look sooooooooooooo GOOD !!
My mouth is watering….
Winnie, this is a good/simple cake, but not as fancy like yours. Thanks for stopping by, I love your comments.

Sounds beautiful. What can I use instead of rum?
brandy or just vanilla.
