Pear and Ginger Cake With a Maple Glaze from New Zealand image

This recipe has been submitted for play in ZWT8 - Australia/New Zealand. This recipe was found at Wattie's - Food in a Minute website. This cake sounds wonderful, another recipe that I will be trying, but I will be using maple syrup instead of the flavored syrup, I think it will taste much better.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cake was still very flavorful.
