Chocolate-Pear-Cake with Caramel Syrup
Pane-Bistecca
I always like to make something new and seasonal for my parties. This time it was a chocolate pear cake with caramel syrup. Not only did everyone enjoy this cake (and one of my guests in particular 😉), but it was also a real eye-catcher!
Chocolate and pears are wonderful “brothers”, they complement each other! Unfortunately, my pears developed a life of their own, so instead of being nice and straight in the cake batter, they came out of the oven slightly bent.
What struck me most about this recipe was that the pears should be small and round, mine were long and therefore not completely buried in the cake batter. So, I baked the cake again with small pears and voila, it turned out really nice! The cake is drizzled with caramel syrup and is highly recommended!

By the way: the cooked pears with the caramel syrup are also very tasty! Watch out, the cake will be eaten faster than you can take photos.
