  From Trinks bakery and coffee owner, Kathleen "Trink" Woodward.
  
  Preheat oven to 350øF. Butter a 9" square cake pan.
  
  Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a nonstick pan over
  medium heat, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Add
  half of the pears, cut-side down, in single layer. Cook
  until brown on bottoms, about 2-3 minutes. Turn pears over
  and cook other cut side until brown, additional 2-3 minutes.
  Transfer to plate and repeat with remaining pears. (The
  second set of pears may only take 1-2 minutes to brown on
  each side.)
  
  Add port to remaining pear juices left in skillet, sprinkle
  remaining sugar over liquid. Cook, stirring continuously,
  until reduced to a syrup, about 1 minute. Pour syrup into
  the buttered cake pan and swirl to coat bottom. Starting
  from one side of the pan fan pears out in single layer;
  arranging tapered sides in same direction.
  
  In a bowl sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon,
  cloves, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
  
  In an electric mixer, using paddle attachment, cream
  remaining 8 tablespoons butter until fluffy. Add brown
  sugar; beat on medium high for 4 minutes. Scrape down sides
  of bowl throughout mixing process. Add eggs and beat to
  combine. Mix in molasses and grated ginger. Add 1/2 of the
  flour mixture, combine on low speed. In a small bowl combine
  baking soda and boiling water; beat into batter. Mix in the
  remaining flour mixture until combined.
  
  Pour batter into pan over pears. Bake for 25 minutes. Reduce
  heat to 325øF and bake until springy to the touch, 10-15
  minutes. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour, run knife around cake
  pan and invert onto serving plate. You can rearrange the
  pears if necessary.
  
  Serves 8-10
