INGREDIENTS
Serves: 6-8
- 830 grams pear halves in juice (2 cans)
- 125 grams plain flour
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 125 grams caster sugar
- 150 grams soft butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
METHOD
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6/400ºF and grease a 22cm / 8½ inch 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 and then cut into slabs - I cut 2 down and 2 across to make 9 slices - and serve with chocolate sauce.
