| 1. Preheat oven to 180°C Butter around 20cm cake tin well. | 2. Make the topping first. Combine sugar and the 60mls (1/4 cup) water in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. | 3. Bring to the boil, without stirring, until the syrup turns a golden brown. It is a good idea to occasionally brush down the sides of the saucepan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent the syrup from crystallising. | 4. Remove from heat immediately and carefully add the 60mls (1/4 cup) boiling water (the syrup will spit a little when the water is added). | 5. Stir until the toffee is smooth (you may have to return it to the heat to help it dissolve). Pour into the base of the buttered cake tin. Set aside. | 6. Now for the cake. Beat butter and sugar together using an electric beater until pale and creamy. Add eggs and beat until well combined. Mix in the sour cream. | 7. Sift together flour, baking powder, ginger and cinnamon and then fold into the sour cream mixture. | 8. Core, peel and halve the pears and arrange, flat side down, over the toffee in the cake tin. Spoon the cake mixture over the pears and spread evenly. | 9. Bake in pre-heated oven for 50-55 minutes or until cooked through and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. | 10. Stand in tin for 5-10 minutes and then turn onto a serving plate. Serve warm with clotted cream. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
