Directions
Pear Upside-Down Gingerbread Cake, I found this recipe in a magazine several years ago and finally made it last month It is a very pretty gingerbread cake that tastes delicious , Loved this! It’s not only delicious, but beautiful I thought the cake would dense but it had the consistency of sponge cake, nice and light I loved the fresh zing of the ginger pear combo and it wasn’t overly sweet I baked it in a black cake pan lined with parchment paper and took it out at 30 mins Perfect! Thanks for posting the keeper , A most delicious easy-to-throw together little cake (even without the lovely garnishes)! Such a perfect size for a small household too! I sifted the dry ingredients before mixing with the wet but otherwise stayed on-track with the recipe It was so hard to wait the 20 minutes before plating as it smelled so wonderful! DH & I each enjoyed a generous wedge with our afternoon coffee – and it was delicious! Thank you Kathy for a lovely little sleeper keeper – we will use it over & over!
