Instruktioner
Förbered päronen
- Select firm pears, the best are Beurré Bosc for the best result.
- Peel the pears, core, and slice them into 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir to evenly combine.
- Add the pear slices to the flour mix above, toss to coat evenly. You want the flour mixture to stick to the pear slices. Some might not entirely stick to them, that's ok, leave it in the bowl. Set aside.
Make the Chocolate Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, keeping some hanging on the sides; it makes it easier to transfer the cake to the cooling rack at the end. Spray cooking oil on the bottom and sides of the pan. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add wet ingredients: almond milk, yogurt, boiled water, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Använd en gummispatel för att röra om och bilda en slät chokladkaksmet.
- Häll kakdegen i den förberedda formen.
- Add the coated pear slices prepared earlier on top of the cake. Do not add any of the flour left in the bowl where you coated the pear slices; discard it.
- Lightly press the pear slices on top of the cake.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts and chopped dark chocolate all over the top of the cake.
- Bake the cake for 55-65 minutes on the middle rack of the oven at 350°F (180°C). Foil the top of the pan after 30 minutes to prevent the top from burning.
- Insert a long toothpick in the middle of the cake. It should come out with a little crumb, but not much. Don't be tricked by the melted chocolate chips sticking to the stick, it's not the cake crumb. When you have no crumb or just a few crumbs on the stick, the cake is ready to come out of the oven.
- Let the cake cool down for 10 minutes in the pan, then run a knife around the cake and gently, carefully open the springform pan to release.
- Place 1 hour on a cooling rack before slicing.

Ingredienser och ersättningar
Du behöver bara några enkla ingredienser för att laga det här receptet. Så här väljer och byter du ut dem.

- Firm Pears – These are the star of the topping, providing a sweet and tender contrast to the chocolate cake. Using a firm variety like Beurré Bosc helps them hold their shape during baking. You’ll peel, core, and slice them to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heltäckande mjöl – This forms the main structure of your cake, giving it a soft and moist crumb. You can also use white spelt flour. It also helps coat the pear slices, preventing them from sinking to the bottom of the cake batter during baking. For a gluten-free version, use my guide till glutenfri konvertering. This recipe is not suitable for almond flour or oat flour.
- Råsocker – This sweetens the cake. You can use unrefined cane sugar options like coconut sugar or demerara sugar if you prefer. I also use it to add a touch of sweetness to the pear slices, enhancing their flavor as they bake.
- Osötat kakaopulver – This provides the rich chocolate flavor for your cake.
- Bakpulver – Detta hjälper kakan att jäsa och få en lätt och luftig konsistens.
- Bakpulver – This works with the baking powder to ensure your cake rises well and has a tender crumb.
- Mandelmjölk – This contributes to the liquid content of the cake, ensuring it stays moist. Any plant-based milk, like oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk, will work well.
- Mejerifri grekisk yoghurt – This ingredient adds moisture and richness to the cake, contributing to its tender texture. I use dairy-free coconut yogurt, but if you eat dairy, plain Greek yogurt is a fine substitute.
- Kokt vatten – This helps create the perfect consistency for your batter. It should be water that has been boiled and then allowed to cool for 1-2 minutes. For a deeper chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee, you can swap half of the boiled water for warm espresso.
- Lätt olivolja – This adds moisture and richness to the cake, contributing to its tender crumb. Any low-flavor oil, such as canola oil, is also a good alternative.
- Vanilj extrakt – This enhances the overall flavor of the cake, adding a warm and inviting aroma.
- Valnötter – These are used as a topping, adding a pleasant crunch and nutty flavor. You can swap them for chopped pecans, hazelnuts, or omit them entirely if you don’t like nuts.
- MÖRKA CHOKLADKAKOR – This adds pockets of rich, melted chocolate to the top of your cake. You can use a 50%, 70%, or even 85% dark chocolate bar, depending on your preferred sweetness level.

Carines baktips
Let me share a few more tips for a perfect pear cake.
- Förstärk chokladsmaken – To boost the chocolate flavors in your cake, swap some of the boiled water for warm espresso. This also introduces a subtle coffee flavor that pairs incredibly well with both chocolate and pears.
- Pear Choice – Choose firm pears like Beurré Bosc that are not overly ripe. This helps them maintain their shape and texture beautifully as they bake on top of the cake.
- No Soggy Cake – If using canned pear slices, it’s crucial to drain them thoroughly and then firmly pat them dry between two thick pieces of absorbent paper. Excess juice will make your cake batter too moist, resulting in a dense and gummy crumb.
- Anpassa pålägg – Feel free to change up the nuts for the topping. Instead of walnuts, you can use pecans, hazelnuts, or even toasted shredded coconut to create different textures and flavor profiles for your cake.
- Prevent Sinking Pears – The step of tossing the pear slices in a bit of flour and sugar is important. This light coating helps them adhere to the top of the batter and prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Avoid Over-Browning – If you notice the top of your cake browning too quickly during baking, loosely cover the springform pan with a piece of foil after about 30 minutes. This will prevent burning while allowing the cake to finish baking through.
- Test for Doneness Carefully – When inserting a long toothpick into the center of the cake, look for just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to mistake melted chocolate sticking to the toothpick for unbaked cake batter.
- Cool Patiently – After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges before gently releasing the springform. Transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 1 hour before slicing. This allows the cake to fully set and prevents it from crumbling.

Have you got any suggestions for oil free?
Sure, the cake use a small amount of oil and it will do well with unsweetened applesauce instead, or more yogurt. As always with oil-free swaps, expect a longer baking time and the cake a bit more moist.
