Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. 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.
