This Chocolate Pear Cake is a baker’s dream recipe. Prepare all your ingredients beforehand, have your dry ingredients sifted together and your butter and dark chocolate melted, too.
One by one, simply whisk all the ingredients together to combine the decadent, dark chocolate cake used for the base in this recipe. Add chopped pears to your batter or use them to top your cake with piles of chunks!
To make Chocolate Pear Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease 9×9-inch square pan or line 9-inch round springform pan with a round piece of baking parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix to combine.
In a separate, small bowl or saucepan, melt the butter and dark chocolate in the microwave, or one a stove top over low heat. Stir well to not solidify.
Transfer the melted butter and chocolate to a larger mixing bowl and add granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat ingredients on medium-high speed for a few minutes until light in color.
With the motor still running, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat to combine.
Add dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two to bring the mixture to a chocolate batter.
You may also fold pears into the batter before pouring into the pan, if you wish; or pour cake batter into prepared baking pan and top with chopped pears.
Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake has a slight bounce, when touched.
Cool on a wire rack for 15-30 minutes. If using a springform pan, release the cake when completely cooled, only.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
