- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups self raising flour
- 1/2 inch fresh root ginger piece, peeled and finely chopped
- 5 ounces blackberries

- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Grease a 8 inch cake pan and sprinkle with flour. In a bowl, mix the pears and lemon juice.
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding 1 tbsp flour with the last egg. Sift the remaining flour into the bowl and fold in. Fold in the pears and ginger. Spoon batter into the pan and smooth out. Add the blackberries and press in slightly.
