Today a delicious chocolate cake with pears and cinnamon, the exceptional softness, of course thanks to butter present in significant amount: I made with cocoa, with pears and chocolate chips because I felt like a dark and intensely flavored cake, reinforced by the aroma of cinnamon, but you can customize it as you want. The pear and chocolate pairing is always perfect, both in tarts both traditional cakes.
But I assure you that this cake, soft and compact, so it is just perfect: at breakfast with milk, Maybe on Christmas morning while unwrapping gifts, but also for a fine dining accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or just a little’ of whipped cream. And still, a snack with tea or herbal tea on a cold day. This cake is really simple to do and lasts a long time (if you can resist). If you want to exaggerate, you can also cut the cake and stuff, perhaps with a chocolate cream, because it is soft but firm, but I really wanted a ' cake’ consistent, lightened from fruits. Is, always for the chocolate and pears series, Also try all the other RECIPES DESSERT WITH PEARS.
