Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 150ml milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 100g dark treacle or molasses
  • 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 100g golden syrup
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 50g light brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and prepare a 20cm cake tin by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, light brown sugar, milk, egg, and dark treacle until smooth.
  4. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula; mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in diced pears until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top. Bake for about 35–40 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  7. While baking, prepare the glaze by heating golden syrup, butter, and brown sugar in a saucepan until smooth.
  8. Once baked, poke holes in the top of the cake and pour warm glaze over it to seep in.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing.
