Recipe for Pear Cake with Chocolate Chips
Start preparing the pear cake with chocolate chips with the fruit: after washing them, peel the pears and remove the central seeds. Cut them into large pieces and weigh 4.2 oz: set them aside for now.
Place the eggs and sugar in the blender or food processor cup.
Blend for a couple of minutes.
Add the pear and blend again until the pear is completely pureed and incorporated with the rest of the ingredients.
Continue by adding all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Blend again for a couple of minutes until you have a homogeneous and lump-free mixture.
Transfer the prepared batter into a 8-inch diameter cake pan greased and floured or lined with parchment paper: if using a silicone mold, you obviously don’t need to do anything.
Sprinkle the surface of the cake with chocolate chips.
Bake the pear cake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 40 minutes.
Do the toothpick test before removing the cake from the oven.
Let it cool well, then unmold and enjoy!
