Pear upside-down cake

This caramelized pear cake is basically a clone of caramelized pineapple upside-down cake—just as delicious but with canned pears instead. Make your caramel with 1/2 cup sugar and 10 ounces of water. Flour the inside of your cake mold and add some canned pears cut into large slices. In the following order, blend 3/4 cup sugar with 1 1/3 cup of softened butter, then add 3 eggs. Add in 1 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Pour the mixture over the pears, and bake for 30 minutes at 350° F.
