* Preheat your oven to 180C. There is no need to grease, spray or line your approx. 20 x 20 cm square baking tin.

* Pour the melted butter into your tin and sprinkle with nuts and brown sugar. Arrange the pears over the nuts and sugar.

* In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until well combined and creamy. beat in the egg and black treacle.  In another bowl: Combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
Add this to the creamy mixture alternately with the water and beating well after each addition until well combined.

* Spread this batter over the pears. Put the tin on a tray before putting it in your oven as the melted butter will leak and make a mess of it. Bake in your preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes until your caketester comes out clean. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before inverting in onto a serving plate. You can serve it warm with some vanilla ice cream if you want. Mmmmm. It should serve 9 people and it is excellent as a dessert!
