Upside-down cake, take 2

Having located my missing walnuts, I considered doing a Pear & Walnut Hat, but instead had another go at an upside-down pear pudding, using the National Trust recipe for a Victorian Gingerbread and Pear Upside-down Pudding (which also uses walnuts), halved. The result was delicious and generous in size -- the original must have been six generous helpings -- and definitely does not require "extra thick double spooning cream" as advocated by this blogger for serving.
