To me there’s nothing better than the taste of chocolate combined with coffee. I had some extra pears and decided to make an Espresso Chocolate Pear Cake .Growing up we always had an abundance of fruit in the house. My nonna mixed fruit with so many cake batters. It’s a good way not to waste fruit that is a little ripe. It’s also a great way for you to introduce more fruits to your family.
Cakes are easy to make. They’re nothing but flour,sugar, eggs and some liquid . I like to always add a little bit of yoghurt to my batter as you know because it lightens up the texture. This cake is nice with some ice cream on the side or more fresh fruit. It is a quick way to bring a tasty dessert to any table. One of my favourite pear simple desserts https://recipesatmytable.com/fried-mozzarella-almonds-honey/
