Chocolate Pear Bread

A wonderful and seasonal chocolate bread. Of course, it can be adapted for other fruits - sour cherries, cherries, apricots, bananas etc. - but pears are very suitable here and give a fresh note to the strong chocolate taste. If you are looking for a chocolate cake with an intense taste, moist texture and a bit dense, this is your recipe! My family enjoyed it with great pleasure, the pear chunks in the cake were the stars, so don't ignore them.

Step by step

Step 1

In a bowl combine chocolate broken into chunks and butter.

Step 2

Melt on a bain marie or in the microwave for 2 minutes, stir until smooth and without lumps.

Allow to cool slightly until the rest of the ingredients are ready.

Step 3

Now, in a separate bowl mix 150g of flour with a little salt and 1 sachet of baking powder (10g).

Step 4

In a bowl, beat well 2 eggs with 100g of sugar and vanilla essence.

Add the yogurt and stir.

Step 5

Stir in the melted chocolate mixture, mix well.

Step 6

Add the flour with salt and baking powder, mix well until smooth and not lumpy.

Step 7

Cut the pears into medium cubes (I left the peel on) and add them to the mixture.

Mix everything well with a spatula or spoon.

Step 8

Pour batter into a cake tin lined with baking paper, if you have a silicone shape skip the paper.

Step 9

Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven at 180 degrees C.

Use the test with a dry toothpick before removing from the oven.

Step 10

Allow to cool completely, then remove from the pan and portion.

You may garnish with a little powdered sugar, if you wish.

Enjoy!
