Well i decided RIGHT THATS IT IM A GONNA BAKE so I did!!!!!!! :) This cake is a favourite in my house and when the kiddies realised i was making it they were eager to be as good a gold until it was ready awwww bless their little cotton socks 

So i thought i would share my recipe with you and maybe you could try it out and let me know what you think :) 

So if you want to know how to make this scroll ahead down i promise you and your family will love it !!!!!

First of all you will need 

For the topping :

25g/1oz Margarine

25g/1oz Brown Sugar 

rind of lemon (optional)

Tin  of Pear halves 

Icing sugar to decorate 
Some people like to sprinkle a little cinnamon too which is optional 

For Cake:

175g/6oz Self Raising Flour

125g/4oz Sugar

125g/4oz Margarine 

2 eggs

2 tablespoons cold water

Lets start with the topping 

• Preheat your oven to 190 degrees 
• Cover the bottom of your cake tin with greaseproof paper
• Then grease with 25g Margarine 
• Sprinkle the 25g of brown sugar to cover the bottom 

• Arrange the Pear halves on the brown sugar
• If prefared you can cut these down even more but its totally up to you 

For the sponge

• Using all in one method.  Put the flour, sugar, margarine, eggs and water into a mixing bowl

• beat the ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and smooth 
• Pout the mixture into the prepared dish 

• It should look like this :) 
• All you have to do is place it in the oven and let it bake for 25-30 minutes :) or until golden brown.  The best way to test that it is cooked through is stick a cocktail stick into it and if it comes out clear your cake is cooked.  

The cake just out of the oven 

Cake turned over

• Turn your cake over and smell the beautiful sweetness of your pears mmmmmmmmmm

• I like to sprinkle my mine with Icing sugar it looks nice :) :)
