Ginger, pear, honey cinnamon, and other spices make this cake extra comforting. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream!

We’re moving this week! And I very much should be packing/cleaning/doing my job instead of writing/cooking, but if I’ve learned anything from college, it’s how to do the most amount of work in the least amount of time. So far so good.

Procrastination or not, these past few weeks have been an absolute blur and I don’t have much energy to be creative or write. Which is fine—moving is a lot of effort! And I still have friends and family to see!

This ginger pear honey cake was a quick, off-the-cuff recipe I made for a friend dinner last week. In my trusty cast iron skillet, no less! It came together unnervingly well, a rarity for a recipe that I threw together in 10 minutes. Guess I’m just as good as using my max/least work/time tactic for recipe writing too.

Needless to say, this is a spicy, cozy cake that ushers in fall quite well. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream, or both—y’all crazy.
