Name: Gingerbread Upside-Down Cake
Ingredients: 12 tb Butter; 1/3 c Dark-brown sugar; 3 Ripe pears, peeled, cored and halved -or-; 6 Canned pear halves; 1 1/2 c Flour; 2 ts Baking powder; 2 ts Powdered ginger; 1/2 ts Salt; 1/2 c Sugar; 1/2 c Milk; 1 Egg; Whipped cream (optional)

I wish I saw more of this understanding of God’s grace among people who profess to be God’s children – the forbearance, love, mercy, gentleness, forgiveness, the humility, the ability overlook sin if appropriate and the absence of legalism, haughtiness and self-righteous spirits. I’m tired of the condemning remarks, the fight to win attitudes, the always expecting my way pursuits and grace-less relationships that are too frequently seen in Christian marriages. No wonder a young girl in a church once prayed, “Lord, make the bad people good and make the good people friendly.”

INSTRUCTIONS

(From "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a
small pan, add the brown sugar, and stir over low heat until blended. Pour
into a square cake pan and arrange the pear halves, round side down, in the
pan; set aside. The pear halves may also be sliced and spread evenly over
the bottom of the pan. Mix the flour, baking powder, ginger, salt and sugar
in a bowl. Melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter in a small pan.
Remove from the heat , add the milk and egg, and beat well. Add to the
flour mixture and beat until smooth. Pour over the pears and bake for about
25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about
10 minutes, then turn out onto a serving plate. Serve with whipped cream,
if you wish.
