Don't forget to subscribe first!<br /><br />You'll need:<br /><br />For the baked pears:<br /><br />- 4 ripe pears<br />- 3½ oz almond flour<br />- 2⅔ oz icing sugar<br />- 1 tbsp orange liqueur<br />- ⅓ oz ground walnuts<br /><br />For the cake:<br /><br />- 2 eggs<br />- 4¼ oz sugar<br />- 4 oz flour<br />- 1¾ oz baking cocoa powder<br />- 2½ fl oz sunflower oil<br />- 2½ fl oz mineral water<br />- 1¾ oz chopped walnuts<br />- 1⅔ tsp baking powder<br /><br />For the caramel sauce:<br /><br />- 1⅔ fl oz water<br />- 7 oz sugar<br />- 5 fl oz coconut milk<br /><br />Here's how:<br /><br />1. Cut away the underside of each pear so that they can be stood upright. Next, use a teaspoon to hollow out the fruit. Make sure to remove the entire core while not putting too much pressure on the soft pears.<br /><br />2. Knead the almond flour, icing sugar, and orange liqueur into a marzipan. If you need to, add some more liqueur to the mix so that you can knead it more easily. Once the marzipan is ready, knead the walnuts into it.<br /><br />3. Take small portions of the marzipan and fill the hollowed out pears with them.<br /><br />4. Next, beat the eggs and sugar into a airy, creamy mixture using an electric whisk. Add the flour, cocoa, oil, water, walnuts, and baking powder in that order while continuing to stir. <br /><br />5. Place the pears in a circle in a cake springform pan (six to seven inches in diameter) and pour the chocolate cake batter around them. Bake the cake at 300°F for approximately 50 minutes.<br /><br />6. While the cake is baking, boil the water and sugar until it forms a caramel. Take the caramel off the heat, stir in the coconut milk, and reheat everything.<br /><br />7. To finish, drizzle the caramel onto the cake and decorate it with more walnuts.<br /><br />Full recipe here: http://www.scrumdiddlyumptious.com/baked-pear-chocolate-cake/
