Pear and Chocolate Cake
This is a cake I made from stuff that needed to be used up, so I didn't actually measure any of the ingredients. I just went by eye and hoped for the best.
Ingredients
Two pears peeled and diced
About 100g of butter melted
About 100g of sugar
About 100g of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
About 100g of melted plain chocolate
2 eggs
A few drops of almond essence
Method
Mix the butter and sugar together and then beat in the eggs. Add the flour, baking powder and almond essence and mix until batter is smooth. Then add the pears to the mix. Spoon half the mixture into a 8 inch greased baking tin. Add the melted chocolate to the rest of the mixture and swirl as for making a marble cake. Then add this mixture to the baking tin. Swirl the mix slightly again. Bake in a hot oven at 180C for about 20 minutes or until the cake is well risen and browned on top. Allow the cake to cool before serving. Try it with some nice vanilla icecream.
