Who doesn’t like a warming pudding? This one is super easy but oh so delicious. Chocolate and pears just work!!

Serves

Ingredients

4 pears, peeled, cored and cut into bite sized piece

150g butter, softened

125g sugar

125 g flour

30g cocoa powder

1 ½  tsp baking powder

2 large eggs

2 Tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C and grease a 22cm ovenproof dish lightly with butter.

Arrange the pears evenly over the base of the dish.

Put all the remaining ingredients in a food processor and blitz (or you can do this by hand) until you have a soft consistency.

Spread the batter evenly over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the surface bounces back when lightly touched.

Serve warm with cream or ice cream.
