My pears were huge so I ended up only using 1 1/2 and they weren’t overly ripe. I think that might be the key to preventing them from becoming mushy. I also cubed in larger chunks. I didn’t have chocolate chunks but used some rather large morsels that I had purchased. I think this is a rather elegant cake and wouldn’t hesitate to bring it to a special affair. Thanks Megan!

I’m so sorry you didn’t like it! At least you got a good cake recipe out of it I guess. The pear does get a bit mushy, but for some reason it didn’t seem that bad to me. Was your pear pretty ripe and soft to start with? Thanks for the feedback!

The recipe sounded challenging and adventurous, two things I love. So off I went and purchased a spring-form pan, because if ever I was to own one it’d have to be for a fun recipe like this.

I followed all the steps and I’d even go so far as to say my cake looked just like the pictures, but considering all the effort I would not make this cake again. To be more specific, I wouldn’t put pear and chocolate in it. The batter is in fact now my favorite type of cake. The crust is crispy and interior moist but the pockets of bittersweet chocolate and pear mush ruins it. 🙁 But at least I now own a spring-form pan. 😀
