Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Oil a 9-inch spring form pan, and line the bottom with a 10-inch circle of parchment paper.
  2. Combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Melt the butter over medium heat for about 1 minute.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared spring form pan, completely coating the parchment paper.
  4. Place the quartered pears on top of the butter-sugar mixture, lining the pieces up tightly in a decorative circle.
  5. In a large mixing bowl cream butter (cut into smaller pieces) and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes, until smooth.
  6. Add the grated ginger, and beat 1 minute more.
  7. Add the eggs one at a time,making sure that each egg is fully incorporated before adding another.
  8. Add in the maple syrup or honey and beat to fully mix. The mixture will look as though it is breaking or curdling, but it will come together when the dry ingredients are added.
  9. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to fully combine.
  10. Alternately add small amounts of flour and buttermilk to the batter, stirring and folding with a rubber spatula until the dry ingredients are just absorbed. Do not overmix the batter.
  11. Pour and scrape the batter into the pear-lined pan, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula.
  12. Bake the cake at 325F for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the cakes centre comes out clean.
  13. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  14. Cover the pan with a serving plate; then carefully invert them together. Release the sides of the pan, and lift it away. Gently lift the pans base off the cake, and peel away the parchment paper.
  15. Allow the cake to cool, and serve warm.

Food Trivia

Canola oil was originally called rapeseed oil, but rechristened by the Canadian oil industry in 1978 to avoid negative connotations. 'Canola' is short for 'Canadian oil.'

Food Joke

A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot. The young family's 6 year old daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going on next door and started talking with the workers. She hung around and eventually the construction crew - gems in the rough, all of them - more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks,and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay envelope containing a dollar. The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the dollar pay she had received to the bank the next day to start a savings account. When they got to the bank the teller was equally impressed with the story and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I've been working with a crew building a house all week". "My goodness gracious", said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week too"? "I will if those useless morons at the lumber yard ever bring us the f****** bricks", replied the little girl.
