Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup seedless raisins
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1/4 tsp clove
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp rum extract or 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and chopped pear

Directions

Yield: Serves 8

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients. Whisk in dry ingredients until smooth. Then, fold in the chopped pear.
  2. Add the batter to a standard sized 8” x 4” (20 x 10 cm) loaf pan that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick spray or greased with butter. As an optional garnish, you can sprinkle the top of the batter with an additional 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
  3. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a cake tester or skewer can be inserted and removed from the middle without appearing “wet” with batter. Leave to rest for 10 minutes. Unmould and allow to cool before slicing.
