Love the way the pears sit in this cake. I love this recipe because Pears and chocolate just go so well together:)

Mmmm I love pears! I never thought to put them with chocolate definitely going to give this a try. Thank you for sharing.❤

You might say the chocolate and pear, pair well together.

Pre-pear the batter
Pre-peared baking pan...
😂

I probably won't make this recipe from scratch, but I'll definitely use chocolate chips and fanned pears method for another cake recipe around Christmas.

I love pears when they're nice and soft. I never peel them, just wash and eat. Pears and prunes go together really well and so does chocolate and prunes.

I have a Well & Good gluten free all purpose cake mix ready to go Saturday afternoon. I'll be adding carrot, zucchini and walnuts to the batter.
Hmmmm 🤔 maybe a few slices of pear on top.

Do you dehydrate the pear peels? They'd be nice as chips.

As always Daniella, thank you for the recipe. I get such wonderful ideas from you.
👍🤤😀😸😻

This cake looks so impressive, but I hate pears. Would apples work??
