    This cake turned out lovely thank you 

    Dear Lord,  So far today,  I haven't gossiped, lost my temper, been grumpy, nasty or selfish. I haven't whinged or eaten any chocolate! However,I'm going to get out of bed in a few minutes & I'll need a lot more help after that! Amen

    Chocolate and pear what a combination... awesome can't wait to try

     I have made this cake many times  and it is always delicious. The pears need to be very firm so as they don't chop up too much.

     When I serve as a dessert I serve with A Berry dream made with Goosberries, the tartness of the berries compliments the sweetness of the cake, plus a dob of Yog.

    My friend and fellow consultant Georgia Carr has converted to a gluten free version. YUM.
