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.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dense and dry. Not sure what went wrong.

The cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I might try reducing the sugar next time.

Not a fan of ginger but decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The pear flavor really shines through.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and both times it has been a crowd-pleaser. The combination of ginger and pear is simply divine.

I baked this cake for my friends and it was a huge success! They couldn't get enough of the sweet and tangy flavors. Will definitely make it again.

Lovely recipe! The cake was a hit at my family gathering. Even my picky niece asked for seconds.

This upside-down cake was absolutely delightful! The ginger and pear flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the cake itself was moist and fluffy. I doubled the ginger amount for an extra kick, and it turned out splendidly.
