Directions

1. Prepare all foods.
2. If you measure everything at once, the preparation of the dough will take 5 minutes.
3. Pears are best used ripe, but firm, so that it is more convenient to remove the peel from them.
4. Cut the pears in half. Peel the halves of the peel, petiole and core.
5. Cover the baking dish with parchment and grease with butter (I used a detachable form with a diameter of 26 cm).
6. Lay the peeled pear halves cut side down nicely on the bottom of the mold.
7. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.
8. In a bowl, combine sugar and soft butter. Fluff with a fork.
9. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each with a fork and then with a blender.
10. Grate the chocolate or cut into small cubes.
11. Chop the nuts with a knife (you can use any nuts).
12. Pour the milk into the butter-egg mixture in a stream, immediately stirring.
13. Then sift the flour to the liquid ingredients, add the baking powder, cocoa powder and nuts. Knead the dough.
14. Add chocolate pieces to the dough. Stir.
15. The dough turns out to be a thick consistency, a heavy wide ribbon flows down from the shoulder blade.
16. Pour the batter into the pan on top of the pears and smooth with a spatula.
17. Send the form to the preheated oven. Bake a cake with chocolate and pears at 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes.
18. Readiness can be checked by piercing the cake with a wooden stick (if the stick remains dry, it's time to get the cake out of the oven).
19. Carefully invert the pan onto a plate and remove from the cake.
20. Appetizing halves of pears are visible on the surface. Let the cake cool slightly and decorate it as you like.
21. For decoration, I used powdered sugar, basil leaves and red currant and blueberry berries.
22. The pie rose well, appetizingly drowning the pear halves in the dough. The pears were baked and became soft, retaining their juiciness.
23. Help yourself!
