Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly butter or use cooking spray to grease your 9-inch springform pan.
Layer the butter on the bottom of springform pan.
Sprinkle the mixture of 1 tbsp brown sugar and 3/4 tsp cinnamon over the butter.
Arrange the pear slices over the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
Preparing the cake batter:
In a bowl, whisk together the spices with the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt.
In second bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened butter, brown sugar.
Add the eggs and mix until incorporated.
Add applesauce and molasses mixing until combined.
Mix flour mixture into moistened egg and sugar mixture until blended.
Add diced pears and gently fold in with a spatula.
Spoon cake mixture over layered pears in springform pan.
Bake at 350° in regular oven or at 325° in convection oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 30 minutes; carefully remove from pan and turn upside down onto a cake plate. Peel away the parchment if you used it.
Note: If you do not wrap the springform pan be sure to place a pan on the oven rack under the cake to catch the butter drips. I baked this recipe before it was updated and ended up having to run the exhaust fan while baking and cleaning the oven afterward |
