Pear and Chocolate Loaf (A Poires au Chocolat recipe)
This cake is one of life’s great joys. OMG : it’s outrageously delicious !I I made it for a Sunday afternoon tea and it was gobbled up in seconds. The way you throw it together it is a bit strange and the mix seems a little dry but it turns out to be very moist. Fabulous.
You need for one hungry family of 4 or 36 models.
125g butter
50g brown sugar
75g caster sugar
2 eggs
135g self raising flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 ripe pear
60g dark chocolate (I use at least 70%) I used Lindt milk chocolate and it was fabulous.
- Climb into Chanel arctic suit.
- Pull on your Prada shearling socks.
- Pour a vodka.
- Ask George Clooney to get outside to chop the wood.
- Then he can light your fire.
- Preheat the oven to 190C. Stand in front of it.
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- Roughly chop the chocolate. It loves it rough. A few chunky squares are good as they will melt.
- Tip: it’s best to taste the chocolate to make sure that it is delicious.
- Important: Do not think of your trip to St Tropez and getting into a bikini.
- Peel the pear and chop it into small chunks as small as a Givenchy clasp, trying to save any juice in a small bowl. Try. Just try.
- Dry out the pears on a few sheets of kitchen towel. If you have to.
- Throw the flour into a chic, big bowl.
- In another chic bowl you can cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy as Britney.
- Beat the eggs together separately in another bowl.
- Gradually add the egg mix to the flour and beat well.
- Now throw in the baking powder, dried pears and chocolate to the flour bowl and toss until the pears are coated in flour.
- Seems a big gluggy but just make sure it’s all mixed together.
- Throw this dry mixture of pears and flour into the bowl with on top of the creamed butter and sugar and fold until all mixed up as Lindsay Lohan.
- Fold in any remaining pear juice gently. If you don’t have pear juice I added about a teaspoon of water. Fold in as you would your Gucci silk shirts.
- Spoon into the lined loaf tin and smooth it down.
- Lick the spoon as there are no calories in that at all.
- Cover with a sheet of foil ( the loaf not you) and put into the oven. This is important or it will sink in the middle (As your stomach won’t after eating this).
- Bake for 30 minutes then remove the foil quickly. Quick. Quick.Quick.
- Bake for another 5-10 minutes until golden brown as Halle Berry and as springy as a Chloe wedge.
- It will be very tired so let it rest for 5 minutes in the tin before turning out on to a cooling rack.
- Gobble down while it’s still warm.
- JOY, Oh JOY.
- Give thanks to the god of food.
