Preparation

1
Done

Preheat oven to 375°F.

2
Done

In a microwave-safe deep bowl or measuring cup, prepare the syrup. Crush the ginger slices with a wooden spoon. This unleashes the flavour of ginger. Add sugar, lemon juice and water. Heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Then stir to dissolve the sugar. Add more time in the microwave if the sugar is not completely dissolved. Remove remaining pieces of ginger. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch cake pan. Place the pear slices on top and set aside.

3
Done

In a small bowl, mix the flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Set aside.

4
Done

In a bigger bowl, with the help of an electric mixer, mix butter and sugar for about 2 minutes until smooth. Add the eggs and continue to mix for 2 minutes. Add vanilla, lemon zest and grated ginger.

5
Done

With the help of a wooden spoon, slowly add the dry ingredients from step 3 and milk while alternating.

6
Done

Pour the mixture into the cake pan over the pear slices. Use a spoon to distribute the mixture evenly. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

7
Done

Cut around the edge of the cake, place a large plate on top and flip the cake upside down.
