Pear and Ginger Pudding Cakes recipe

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!
