Gingerbread Pear Upside-Down Cake

1/2 cup margarine

2 to 3 large eggs

2/3 cups molasses (un-sulphured)

2 cups white corn flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp each cinnamon and nutmeg

1/4 tsp cloves

1/3 cup water or liquid off canned pears

1 1/4 cup grated raw apple or pear

1 can (drained) sliced pears (packed in water not syrup)

Butter & brown sugar

Cream margarine, eggs and molasses well. Combine the dry ingredients and

add alternately with the water/pear liquid to the margarine mixture. Stir

in grated apple or pear.

Spread 1/4 cup of soft margarine in the bottom & edges of a deep dish 10 "

round pan (I use my angel food pan with the center ring removed), on top

of margarine spread 1/3 cup brown sugar and place sliced pears. Pour in

cake mix over top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Once out of the oven immediately

and carefully invert onto serving plate, any fruit that sticks to pan

lift out and place back on cake.
