2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tbsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cloves
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 tbsp molasses
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. sour cream

Directions:

Make topping: Peel, quarter and core pears. Toss with lemon juice. In a 9-inch skillet, melt butter and sugar. Add pears; cook until tips look translucent, about 8 minutes. Let cool.

Mix in molasses and melted butter. Add half of dry ingredients, sour cream and then rest of dry ingredients just until smooth. Scrape batter into pan on top of cooled pears.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until springy. Let cool for 2 minutes, then invert a platter on top of skillet and flip to unmold.
