Nice texture, but rather bland. Could probably use some more spice, and perhaps a pinch of salt.

Method
Preheat oven to 170°C. Line a 23cm cake tin with baking paper.
Combine melted butter, Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar and Chelsea Blackstrap Molasses and spread half over the base of the tin. Arrange the pear slices in a decorative pattern over the base and top with the remaining mixture.
In a food processor combine remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Pour ginger batter over the pears and bake on a tray for 60-65 minutes until puffed and dark golden. Test with a skewer to ensure the centre is cooked. Leave to rest for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
Serve with custard, cream or ice-cream.
* Make a delicious syrup by combining ¼ cup golden syrup with ¼ cup molasses. Spoon over pears before serving if desired or serve warm to drizzle over sliced cake and cream.
