upside down pear cake

Note: this recipe still needs a bit of work. Trying to make a 4-inch cake from a real cake recipe takes a lot of iteration.

(serves 2-3)

upside down pear cake

1/2 pear, sliced
1/2 tsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar

3/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp soy milk
1 small egg

Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a skillet, brown the pear slices with butter and brown sugar.

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, ginger, and brown sugar. Add the milk and egg, and beat to form a batter.

In a 4 1/2 inch springform pan, position the slices one over another. Add the batter. Bake for 20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
