Directions
For this dessert, we must use ripe pear, and we put the pear inside the cake, but you also can choose to combine and put one part on the top decorating the cake surface with pear slices, before baking it.
- Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
- Rinse and peel the pears, and cut in small pieces. If you like to decorate the top, one part cut in slices. Transfer in a bowl and add the lemon juice to not oxidate. If you don’t like the lemon you can prepare the pear at the last step, after preparing the cake dough, adding immediately to the cake dough.
- In a deep bowl, add the eggs and sugar, and start mixing with an electric egg beater until the sugar melted.
- Add the oil little by little and continue to mix until it creates a homogeneous mixture. Add the grated lemon zest and the sifted flour. Mix until all the flour creates a dough with the liquid mixture.
- Add the milk and continue mixing until it creates a soft and thin dough. Add the sifted cocoa and the baking powder.
- In the end, add the pears.
- Grease a cake stencil and flourish, add the cake dough to bake at the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. If you like to decorate the cake surface with pear slices, you can do before baking it.
- Before removing from the oven, we make the tooth stick check.
- Let the cake cool and transfer in a cake plate, decorating with powder sugar, if you like it.
Bon Appetit!
