Tinklee's Spicy Pear Cake method
- Preheat oven to 350F, grease 2- 9" pans on their sides only.
- toppong/bottom: place half of butter in each pan ( this will 2/3cup for each pan), put in oven and melt butter.
- add brown sugar and spices mixing well and spread sugar mixture across bottom of pan.
- arrange prars in a nice pattern, set pans a side.
- cake: in a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda and all spices, I sift mine to remove any lumps, make sure you still mix them together though.
- cream butter, sugar and vanilla, then add your eggs one at a time mixing between each egg, then add your molasses.
- now starting with your dry ingredients alternative with the buttermilk, ending with your dry, and mix.
- divide batter between the 2 pans.
- bake for 30-35 mins, once out of oven turn your first one over onto your cake pan, then turn out second one on top (note: try to line up real well, once it is in place it will stay where it is.
- can be served with pear sauce.
- pear sauce: puree leftover pears, add brown sugar, melted butter, then heat up till just warm and spoon over each slice before serving, I like to add a dollop of whip cream also.
