Pear and Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake.

Pear and chocolate chip bundt cake, an elegant and very soft dessert, thanks also to the pears that help keep the cake moist when baked. Pears and chocolate make a great pair, use ripe but firm Abate pears. Dark chocolate chips are preferred for that extra flavor. This dessert is perfect all year round… in the summer, try chilling the sauce in the freezer, then serve it with the pear and chocolate chip bundt cake. The sauce made with cooked wine and pears, in winter when it’s cold, is excellent served warm with the cake. Absolutely delicious…

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
