Pear Upside Down Cake
When I had first eaten a pineapple upside down cake, I started thinking about a pear upside down cake. I head it couldn’t work because the pear released so much liquid. Years later, I saw something on PBS, they made one from scratch with the addition of corn starch to absorb some of the liquid released by the pears. This is my first attempt at a pear upside down cake and I did it similar to the way I’the make the pineapple version. Don’t shame me for using the boxed cake mix 😏. The cake was actually very balanced and not overly sweet. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to top it with a warm apricot jam or something similar.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Butter the hell out of your pan. Give it a good dusting with some flour and shake it all around. Dump the excess flour. Set aside.
* Step 2
Cut pears in half and core. Slice thinly.
* Step 3
Put enough brown sugar to cover the bottom of the pan in entirety. I ran out of dark brown sugar, so I added some light. It didn’t make a difference. Be generous with the sugar. I didn’t measure. Maybe 1 1/2 cups unpacked. Sprinkle corn starch over the brown sugar. Better yet, use a small metal strainer (which I didn’t use). Layer pear slices.
* Step 4
Prepare cake mix as directed and pour over pears.
* Step 5
Is used a cast iron pan and baked my cake at 325 F for 38 minutes. You may have to go to 350 F depending on what you’re using for baking. Allow to cool about 20 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the edges to loosen.
* Step 6
Find something suitably sized for flipping purposes. Flip that bad Larry and give it a rough shake like it owes you money if it doesn’t drop right out. If it so happens that any of the surface is damaged, you can easily patch it with some brown sugar mixture on the bottom of the pan. Most chances are, you won’t have to do much patching. Cut it like a pizza and serve.
