(Makes 12 servings)

5  ripe, fresh California Bartlett pears, divided
1 cup  sugar
1 cup  molasses
1 cup  butter, melted
2  eggs
3 cups sifted flour
1-1/2 tsp  baking soda
1-1/2 tsp  baking powder
1 tbsp ginger
2 tsp  cinnamon
1 tsp  cloves
1 tsp  nutmeg
1/2 tsp  salt
1/2 cup  buttermilk

Pour batter into mold.

Cool in pan 60 minutes, then invert.

Core and slice remaining pears to serve on top of cake and Quick Pear Spice Ice Cream.
