Tips:

  • For a moister cake, use ripe pears. The riper the pears, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be.
  • If you don't have any fresh ginger, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the baking pan before adding the batter. This will help the cake to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
