Spiced Pear Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2. Grease/flour a 13 x 9 pan.

3. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and oil until foamy.

4. Add the sugar, vanilla, baking soda and water and beat until fluffy.

5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Beat until smooth.

7. Dice the pears into bite-sized cubes and gently fold into the batter. The dough will be stiff and the pears will add liquid to it.

8. Next, fold in the finely chopped crystallized ginger. Mix.

9. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

10. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
