Chocolate cake with pears
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Making a chocolate cake requires only a few ingredients. Choose pears that aren't too juicy, so the slices don't sink to the bottom of the pan during baking. Try to slice the fruit into thin slices or small cubes—this way, the batter will lift them and they won't interfere with the batter rising. Add sweet spices or spices to taste. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
