2 cups all-purpose flour (would work just as well with wheat flour too I think.)
1/4 cup margarine
1 cup Splenda
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lime juice (the recipie called for zest of one lemon. I only had lime juice around the house - I think the important thing is to provide a slight citrusy flavor.)
1 - 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger (ginger is potent, so it really depends on how strong you want this flavor to be)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup Light Vanilla Soy Milk
1 1/2 cup pears ( sliced, peeled, and then diced)
