I have a bunch of pears looking for a cooked home (before they all go bruisey and rejectable by the short people) so I will try this one today! xxPaige Orloffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320855023868165284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-69053145657199442532009-11-10T20:31:52.514-08:002009-11-10T20:31:52.514-08:00Hi Alana,
I can't come by for tea. But here ...Hi Alana,<br /><br />I can't come by for tea. But here is my favorite gingerbread cake. It is definitely a cake, dense and moist, not at all sticky. I've never made it with pears, but one could. <br /><br />2.5 cups all purpose flour. 1 tea cinnamon. freshly grated ginger to taste (lots). 1 tea ground cloves. 8 Tables butter, softened. 0.5 cups sugar. 1 cup molasses. 2 teas baking soda. 1 cup boiling water. 2 eggs, slightly beaten.<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the pan. Its nice if you have a ring form pan or a shapely mold or bundt. Sift the dry ingredients together. Cream the butter. Add the sugar and molasses. Combine the baking soda and boiling water, then with the butter-sugar mixture. Add the eggs and the ginger. Beat. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, until it is done. Avoid the top of the oven to prevent burning. Let cool for 5 minutes, before turning out onto a rack. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or creme fresh. If it's not for a birthday with candles, this cake is pretty with powdered sugar on top or with the ring filled with fruit.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581739179683657016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-20891213486163476862009-11-10T14:23:43.104-08:002009-11-10T14:23:43.104-08:00Oh my gosh, I wish I lived nearby.

It's not that I've tried a lot to make it, it just always sounds sooo good and I never think to make it when I'm in a baking mood.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550235196991576571.post-35993735878666982262009-11-10T12:53:05.283-08:002009-11-10T12:53:05.283-08:00My aunt makes a marvelous pear gingerbread--I'...My aunt makes a marvelous pear gingerbread--I'll ask her where she got the recipe.Anna Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08534421191722429555noreply@blogger.com
