I’ve made something quite similar, a pear upside-down ginger cake. My son even requests I make it, which I would do anyway, as I’ve an abundance of pears from our tree every fall.

I am in denial that it’s fall but this recipe convinced me that it’s ok that it’s fall. TY!

You are the funniest of all :)

I’m caught by surprise by your humor every time! I like upside down things so I will make this recipe. How much I appreciate you.

This sounds delicious but my husband dislikes hazelnuts. Do you think chestnut flour could be subbed? I have some that I need to use.

My grandmother didn't make honey cake, but she made the world's best gefilte fish. Seriously. The best. I haven't mastered that recipe, but I make up for it with my gluten free honey cake. So good! But yours is decidedly different and I'm very eager to try it out. Thanks again for the inspiration.

I could smell and taste this cake as I read through your comments and the ingredients list. I'll have to do some extra walking but the weather has moved towards fall so it's a good thing.

Weighing honey is much less mess, and less cleanup hands down. Good approximation is bump the weight up 50% for density difference as compared to water -- 1/4 cup is 2 oz water and 3 oz honey. (Your metric weight is very close also).
