Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9" x 1" round (or square) cake pan with cooking spray. Slice the pear into thin wedges. Gently toss the slices with the lemon juice.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, pie spice or nutmeg, and salt until combined. In a large bowl, whisk together the molasses, sugar, egg whites, oil, candied ginger (if using), and fresh ginger until blended. Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the pear slices on top, in a spoke fashion.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pan onto a rack to cool for at least 15 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
  • Recipe Tips
  • Pears are best when they are picked unripe and then ripened at room temperature. They are ready to eat when their flesh gives slightly and they have a sweet, fruity fragrance.
