Here’s that Chocolate and Pear Pudding recipe I promised!
Mine does not look as nice - the lack of chocolate sauce doesn’t help but I promise you it tastes devilishly good ;)
What you need:
- 2 cans pear halves in juice
- 125g plain flour
- 25g cocoa powder
- 125g caster sugar
- 150g soft butter, plus extra for greasing
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 200°C and grease a 22cm square ovenproof dish with butter.
- Drain the pears and arrange them on the base of the dish.
- Put all the remaining ingredients in a food processor and blitz until you have a batter with a soft dropping consistency.
- Spread the brown batter over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Let stand out of the oven for 5 or 10 minutes, cut into slabs and serve with chocolate sauce.
