Ingredients

Instructions

  • In large non-stick skillet over medium heat melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, orange juice and crystallized ginger. Heat until just bubbly.
  • Arrange fruit slices in concentric circles, overlapping slightly. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in bowl combine pound cake mix, cinnamon and ground ginger until blended.
  • Add milk; with mixer on medium speed, beat until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add eggs; beat until a batter forms, 1-2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl as necessary.
  • Carefully pour batter evenly over fruit to cover.
