Delish "bar" type dessert for pear season. I used white sugar and accidently only used 1/4 cup of molasses. It was still all good. Toddler approved. Will make again!

Surprisingly good!
I wasn't expecting this cake to be moist. I also wasn't expecting it to be all that delicious. But I had a bunch of pears that needed using so I figured what the heck.
I followed all of the instructions, except I probably used about a quarter teaspoon less ground ginger than the recipe called for. The last time I made a gingerbread type cake it came out too ginger-y, so I didn't want to repeat that mistake. I also made my own pumpkin pie spice blend using cinnamon (1 tsp, nutmeg (1/4 tsp, cloves (1/4 tsp and ginger (1/2 tsp.
The cake ended up being moist and perfectly sweetened (not too sweet and not bland, with a good texture. Next time I'll chop the pears smaller than 1-inch pieces. 1/2 inch pieces will allow them to spread out a bit more throughout the batter to share the pear love.

Taste deserves 5 stars, but the fact that this breaks down to 5 Weight Watcher points per slice takes it off my daily snack list and puts it in my special occassion list.
I used Palm Date Sugar instead of brown sugar and since I only had a little over 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice left, I added 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 3/4 tsp cinammon. It was really yummy! And the smell coming from the kitchen was heavenly!!

I made this cake for my singing group, and they loved it, even the crumbs.
It smells wonderful while it bakes, too.

This was really great! It was thinner than I normally like in a cake, but that didn't effect the taste at all. I used white, whole-wheat flour (King Arthur's and added an additional pear because mine were small. I also just added all the butter with the pears at the beginning. Used black strap molasses, and then dusted w/powdered sugar. Soooo good!

I love gingerbread and I love pears, so this was a winning combination for me. The spice of the cake complimented the sweetness of the pears. Great fall recipe.
