  Despite messing this up by adding all the flour at once and having to thin it out with milk, plus I used left over Bramley apples not pears this was still al ovely cake especially with custard and a greatway to use up leftover mince meat. One definately to remember for next year

  Mine is in the oven now, and the mix has also risen over the top, like someone said in a previous comment. It basically looks like the crumble has melted. Next time I'll add another tablespoon of flour into the crumble topping to make it a bit drier....so hopefully that should prevent it happening again. Smells delicious though- can't wait to have slice! :o) Mine also looks like it'll take more than the 1hr30 suggested.

  Made this with leftover mincemeat from xmas and it was lovely, really moist and tasty, will definitely make it again! I used a slightly larger tin and it took 2 and a half hours to cook but was well worth the wait.

  Mmmm, nice. I used Apples instead of Pears too and it worked very well. There was still some left on the 2nd day and it was still lovely and moist.

  This cake is wonderful, looks just like the picture but more moist! Took a little longer than an hour and a half.

  This is a lovely cake, but I wonder whether I'll make it again, given that it took more than twice as long to cook as the recipe states, and the fact that the slow cooking meant that it took ages for the surface of the cake to set in the oven, with the result that the crumbly topping just 'dissolved' into it. So no crumbly topping at all, just a smooth surface. There is an immense amount of butter in the recipe, which makes it very buttery - could argue greasy; personally I like the butteriness but it does pile on the calories and the sat fat, unfortunately! So yeah. A delicious cake but not without its issues. I think if I were to persevere and make it again I'd not put the crumbly topping bit on until the cake had already been in the oven long enough for the surface to set.
