Scrummy served warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt. |
Chocolate Pear Cake
4- 5 fresh pears peeled, cored and quartered (Nigella's recipe uses tinned pears but it's great for fresh pears too)
125g plain flour
25g cocoa powder
125g caster sugar
150g softened butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 largish eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
Preheat the oven to 200 C/gas mark 6 and grease a 22cm square ovenproof dish (or use a silicone dish like mine and you don't need to grease it - yay!)
Prepare the pears and arrange them in the bottom of the dish so they cover the dish more or less
Put all the other ingredients in a mixing bowl and whizz up with an electric hand mixer. (Nigella uses a food processor but that's just more washing up!!)
Spread the mixture over the pears and bake for 30 minutes
Let it cool for 5 or 10 minutes and cut into about 9 slices and serve - warm with a dollop of Greek yoghurt, cream, ice cream or for real chocolatey indulgence chocolate sauce - yum!
No excuses now - this is just the easiest pudding ever - so geeet baking!
