How to make Upside Down Pear Ginger Cake Recipe
To begin making Upside Down Pear Ginger Cake Recipe, in a saucepan add butter, honey, sugar and grated ginger. Let the syrup melt and cook until it becomes golden.
While the syrup is cooking, prepare the cake tin or cast iron pan by lightly greasing it with butter and flouring it. Tap off the excess flour after its coated without disturbing the inner lining of the cake pan.
Remove from heat and pour this syrup into the prepared cake tin or ovenproof frying pan.
Arrange pear slices in the cake tin or frying pan which you are using. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degree F and grease. In a mixing bowl sift together whole wheat flour, baking powder.
Add in ground almonds and set aside. In another mixing bowl beat together olive oil and sugar.
Stir in yogurt, honey and ginger. Whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients into the wet in two batches.
Gently fold in all the ingredients to make a batter. Pour the cake batter on top of the pears and cover them completely.
Tap on the kitchen counter to free the air gaps if any. Bake in preheated oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Remove the cake from oven and allow it to cool. Loosen the sides with a knife and flip the cake onto serving plate.
