You can bake the pound cake and saute the pears a day or two ahead. A light toasting rewarms the pound cake for a warm satisfying dessert.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 large ripe Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, sliced
3 tablespoons finely diced crystallized ginger

4 to 6 3/4-inch-thick slices Cinnamon Pound Cake (see recipe)
Vanilla ice cream
Other necessary recipes:
Cinnamon Pound Cake
DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle sugar over butter and cook without stirring until sugar melts and turns golden brown, about 4 minutes. Immediately add pears and ginger. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally and gently, until pears are juicy and caramel in pan dissolves, about 12 minutes. Continue cooking until juices thicken into syrup consistency and pears are tender, about 10 minutes longer.
DO-AHEAD TIP: Pears can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Stir over medium heat to rewarm before serving.
Preheat broiler. Arrange cake slices on baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Place 1 cake slice on each plate. Spoon pears and juices over cake. Top with scoop of ice cream and serve.
