Pear and Orange cake

A little over two weeks ago my Mum (Nana Seaweed) and Grandma were visiting. My Grandmother, who will be 92 soon, likes to read the odd That's Life magazine . While she was here she showed me a recipe from one that looked both pretty and tantalising.
Here is the magazine pic

The recipe was pretty straight forward, but the end result was pretty eye-catching, and the taste was Mmmm!!! This one is a keeper. All those involved in the eating process said that it definitely needs to be done again. 

P.S. For those who want to attempt it, I used a vanilla cake mix instead of the butter cake that it called for, and then added the pears. Except for the quartering, this is approximately how they were prepared.
