Fruit desserts are my favorite as they have that note of freshness and delicacy given by fruit which makes them special. During this time of the year I normally take advantage of fall richness and I bake a lot trying new recipes. I do not know how it happened but I have baked a lot with pears lately and I realised that pear and chocolate together rock!!! This combination is irresistible. And so was this pear cake. Soft and fluffy, with a delicate aroma of cinnamon – this was by far one of the fluffiest cake I’ve baked so far. Not to mention the flavor that invaded my kitchen ….
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 180g sugar
- 200g all purpose flour
- 50g cocoa
- 8g baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 50ml milk
- 125g butter
- 3 pears
- cinnamon to taste
- 1/2 lemon
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 170° C
- Peel the pears and cut them into cubes ( not very small); toss the pear cubes with lemon juice to prevent them from changing color.
- Melt the butter.
- In a bowl sift together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
- Beat eggs with sugar and add the flour mixture.
- Add the milk, the melted butter and pears and combine.
- Pour the batter in a greased cake tin (22cm).
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50′ (use the toothpick test to see to check the doneness).
- Let it cool in the tin slightly before releasing it, then place on a rack to cool completely.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve.
Note: it can be served with crème fraîche or whipped cream
Enjoy!
Hugs and kisses!

E minunata! Dulciurile cu ciocolata sunt printre preferatele mele, le ador pur si simplu, iar in combinatie cu pere..mmmmm…o nebunie!
Știu ca adori ciocolata, Any. Eu nu prea eram mare fan înainte însă din timpul sarcinii am devenit o mare consumatoare de tot ce-i cu cioco
E divină combinația! Știu pentru că am făcut și eu toamna trecută ceva asemănător.
Pere și ciocolata e într-adevăr combinația perfecta, Alinush :*
Combinatia este irezistibila, doar am probat-o si eu de curand!
Nu-i asa, Cristina? Cu pere și cioco nu poți sa dai greș
Aveam niste pere asa zemoase si frumoase… ce rau imi pare ca le-am mancat. Neaparat trebuie sa mai trag o fuga la piata, tarta asta e o minunatie!
O să îți placa la nebunie, Prăji. Să-mi dai de știre cum a fost :*
Arata grozav!Tocmai am bagat-o la cuptor si eu.Saru’mana de reteta
Sper ca v-a placut, Claudia.
Foaaarte buna:)
