I've had this idea in my head for a WASC that is made with pear yoguart, juice (from a can of pears) and a pinch of cinnimon. I'd make a pear filling with the tinned fruit, layered with a ricotta cream and then a dark chocolate granache drip. 

What do you think about the flavours, any tips for how to add it all to my WASC? I'd most likely use a white cake mix, but I do have a chocolate one knocking around too. 

Thoughts?

pear yogurt -- idk -- I would want to remove the water from the yogurt and the pear preserves -- I would find a pear vodka or something to do a pear splash on the baked layers too -- pear liqueur + simple syrup -- and I think I would go with fresh pears -- but it sounds delicious to me -- pomegranate is nice with pear too

do you think the dark choco would drown out the pear flavor? I would definitely use a white or yellow cake though myself

I rather agree w/k8.  I don't think there is  going to be much pear flavor just using yogurt.  There  is a brand of canned juice/nector (Kerr or Kern?) that I suggest you use as the liquid in the batter instead of using water.   Consider thickening your mashed pears w/some cornstarch for the filling - that way you might be able to use more pears to help increase the flavor.  In fact I'd even consider adding some mashed pears to the batter.   I don't think a choco drip is enought to drown the pear flavor.
