A real classic in Italian bakeries! Everyone in Italy prepares this gluttony at home, this is my version!

INGREDIENTS

2 pears

 

7 oz dark chocolate

3,5 oz butter

 

2 eggs

4 oz sugar

7 oz all-pupose flour + 1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons potato starch

1 tablespoon rum

 

 

STEP 1: CUT THE PEARS

Peel the pears, remove the core and cut them into cubes.

 

STEP 2: MELT THE CHOCOLATE

Broke the chocolate into pieces, then melt it together with the butter in a bain-marie. Let it cold.

 

STEP 3: MAKE THE MIXTURE

In a bowl beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Add little by little the other ingredients: melted chocolate, all-purpose flour + baking powder, potato starch and rum. Mix well until smooth.

 

STEP 4: PLACE IT IN THE CAKE TIN

Place the mixture in a cake tin covered with baking paper. Add the mixture little by little by alternating mixture and pear cubes. Level the cake with a spoon.

 

STEP 5: COOK

Cook the cake in preheated oven at 170°C for 40 minutes. Check the cooking time by deeping a toothpick into the cake.

 

 A PIECE OF ADVICE: if you prefer a wetter cake cook it at 160°C
