Nigellas bääronchokladkaka

Satt och slötittade på teve ett tag nu på kvällen, och lyckades att slå över till fyran och "Nigella express". Jag lyckades precis tajma in att få se hennes päronchokladkaka, och sedan hittade jag receptet på BBC:s hemsida. Måste ju bara provbakas!

Nigella's Chocolate pear pudding
The sponge itself does make a little bit of its own sauce, so if you really don't want to make some separately, just serve it with chocolate ice cream.

For the pudding
2 x 415g cans pear halves in juice, drained
125g plain flour
25g cocoa powder
125g sugar
150g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 free-range eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

For the sauce
1 x 170g can evaporated milk
½ tsp instant espresso powder
150ml golden syrup
100g dark chocolate, minimum 70 per cent cocoa solids, broken into pieces

Method
1. For the pudding, preheat the oven to 200C and grease a 22cm square ovenproof dish with butter.
2. Arrange the pear halves over the base of the dish.
3. Place all the remaining pudding ingredients into a food processor and blend to make a smooth batter with a soft dropping consistency.
4. Spread the batter over the pears in the dish, then transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
5. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it stand for 5-10 minutes, then cut into slices.
6. For the sauce, place all the sauce ingredients into a small pan and heat gently, stirring frequently, until smooth and well combined.
7. To serve, place the pudding into bowls and pour over the chocolate sauce.
