These pillowy Pear and Ginger Pudding Cakes call for simple ingredients and come together in a snap. They are made with fresh pears, pecans and toffee bits and flavored with warming ginger and cinnamon. A pudding layer adds a sophisticated touch and a gooey factor. This comforting and super flavorful dessert is perfect for fall. Served warm and fresh from the oven, these ginger pear puddings just couldn’t be beat.
You’ll start by making the cake batter in a mixing bowl. It’s a simple mix of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, ground spices, salt and milk. The recipe is egg-free, making it perfect for eaters with egg allergies. Once the batter is mixed, stir in the diced pears, pecans and toffee bits. Then, using another bowl, combine all the pudding ingredients. To assemble the cakes, divide the cake batter between four buttered ramekins and pour the pudding mixture over the top. Bake the cakes until the edges bubble and the top is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy warm!
To make the Pear and Ginger Pudding Cakes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Lightly butter 4 8-ounce ramekins. Place the ramekins on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Add in ¼ cup milk and beat until smooth.
Stir in 1 cup diced pears, ⅓ cup chopped pecans, and ¼ cup toffee bits. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter and ¾ cup water just until the butter has melted.
Gradually stir the butter mixture into the brown sugar mixture.
Divide the cake batter evenly among 4 ramekins. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the top. Do not mix or stir.
Bake until the cakes are browned, the tops are firm, and the edges are bubbly, about 35-40 minutes.
Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy!
