Ingredients
How to Make the 2-Ingredient Pear Cake
Peel the pears and cut them into small pieces. Place them in a pot with plenty of water and cook for about 10 minutes, until very soft and easy to pierce with a fork.
Drain the pears well and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or the microwave.
Add the cooked pears to the melted chocolate and blend everything with an immersion blender until smooth, glossy, and completely lump-free.
Line a 22cm cake pan with parchment paper and pour in the mixture, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until fully set.
