Pear and chocolate cake soft and delicious. Fruit desserts are always my favorite. Soft, moist, and fragrant like no other; perfect for breakfast, a snack, or any time of the day. So go ahead and enjoy a soft Apple Cake or a Soft Orange Cake or a Strawberry Cake. Today I want to tell you how I prepared an irresistible Cake with Pears and Chocolate, super soft and very tender. I find that pears and chocolate are a perfect combination, and I made them the stars of a delicious cake that smells of cinnamon and homemade treats. A simple preparation for a soft delight that instantly filled my house with its irresistible aroma. I used a rectangular mold because I liked the idea of serving this cake cut into square slices, but with the same measurements and following the same recipe, a round mold of 9-10 inches in diameter works just as well. Have I convinced you to try it? Let’s head to the kitchen and prepare a delicious Chocolate and Pear Cake together.

How to prepare the Pear Cake with Chocolate Chips
Clean the pears, cut half into cubes and the other half into slices. To prevent them from browning, cover them. Beat the 2 whole eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for 6-7 minutes until you have a light and frothy mixture.
Add the melted butter and a container of plain yogurt. Mix.
Continue the preparation by adding the sifted flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix.
Pour the cubed pears and chocolate chips into the batter. Stir with a spatula to incorporate them into the mixture.
Line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper; mine measures 8.75 x 11 inches. Pour the batter inside, leveling it with the spatula.
Arrange the pear slices on the surface, letting them sink slightly into the batter. Also, distribute more chocolate chips.
Bake the Pear and Chocolate Cake in the preheated oven at 350°F in static mode for 35-40 minutes. Always do “the toothpick test” to check the internal doneness of the cake.
Let the Pear Cake cool before transferring it to a tray and decorating it with powdered sugar as desired.

Loredana’s Tips
The cake remains soft in a container for 2-3 days, although due to the pears it tends to become slightly moist inside
If you prefer, you can substitute the butter with 50 ml of light olive oil or seed oil
You can replace the chocolate chips with 70 grams of dark chocolate in small pieces
