Just a standard sized spring form pan and yes, some of the pear slices will sink to the middle of the cake. You correctly spotted a pear in the middle of the cake slice!

Hi Ari,
What a great post. I love gingerbread, and yours is beautiful. TDhe idea of adding some sliced fresh pear to the cake sounds perfect. A couple of quick questions before I make the recipe (as soon as the water pipes defrost LOL): 1) What size springform pan did you use? 2) Is that a slice of pear peeking out from the middle of the slice or just my imagination? Do some of the slices scattered on top sink to the middle? Thanks – and Happy New Year!
