Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup butter
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
20 ounces canned pear halves, drained
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup milk
⅓ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place 1/3 cup butter in a 9-inch square pan and set in the preheating oven to melt, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir molasses, brown sugar, and ginger into the melted butter. Arrange pears cut-side down over mixture.
  • Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Add milk, 1/3 cup butter, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg until combined, about 2 minutes. Pour batter over pears.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan; place a plate on top of the cake and flip carefully.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The pears were perfectly caramelized and the cake was moist and fluffy. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it was a perfect dessert.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The pears were perfectly caramelized and the cake was moist and fluffy. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavors were good. The pears were perfectly caramelized and the cake was very flavorful. I think I would add more butter or oil to the batter next time I make it.
