2 -3 large pears (Anjou)
1 cup canol oil (or other neutral vegetable oil)
1 1/2 cups sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0; grease and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
Peel and core the pears and cut them into 1/2-inch dice; measure out 1 1/2 cups for this recipe.
Place the oil, sugar, and eggs in a bowl; whisk until smooth.
Sift the flour, baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and ginger over the egg mixture.
Fold a few times by hand with a rubber spatula.
Toss the pears evenly over the mixture and gold together to mix evenly.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, rub walnuts, brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon together until evenly mixed.
Sprinkle over the top of the batter.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a pick comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Carefully invert the cake onto a plate to unmold; place a small wire rack on top of the cake and invert again right side up.
Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
