Pear Ginger Coffee Cake Recipe
Pears help make the cake moist as they bake. This cake is especially good when it is still a little warm from the oven.

There's nothing quite like the combination of pears and ginger for me, beard! This topping is to die for as far as I'm concerned. My thanks and my 5.
