Serves 8 

Hands-on time: 10 minutes 

Hands-off time: 40 minutes 

 

INGREDIENTS 

 

2 tins (410g each) pear halves in syrup 

¼ cup Oude Meester Ginger Liqueur 

1 box (500g) vanilla cake mix  

170g (¾ cup) butter, cold 

 

Serving suggestion: 
Icing sugar 

Vanilla custard 

Oude Meester Ginger Liqueur on the rocks 

 

METHOD 

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a rectangular baking dish. 

2. Add the pear halves with the syrup to the baking dish, flat-side down. Carefully cut the pear halves into quarters. 

3. Pour the Oude Meester Ginger Liqueur evenly over the pears. Sprinkle the vanilla cake mix over the pears and shake the baking dish lightly to distribute the dry cake mix evenly. 

4. Carefully grate the cold block of butter over the cake mix. *Chef’s Tip: Ensure the top is covered with an even layer of butter to form a beautiful crust when baking! 

5. Bake the pudding for 40 minutes or until the base is sticky and the cake is cooked through with a golden brown crust. 

6. Lightly dust the pudding with icing sugar. Serve warm with creamy vanilla custard and an Oude Meester Ginger Liqueur on the rocks and ENJOY!
