how to cook Upside Down Pear Chocolate Mud Cake?
STEP 1
Let’s get started by preheating the oven to a toasty 160°C (320⁰F). Now, let’s drain the liquid from those canned pears. Put the liquid into a saucepan. Give it a good boil until we’ve got ourselves a thick syrup. While that’s happening, let’s slice up those canned pear halves into nice pieces.
TIPS: Instead of using canned pears, consider using fresh ones. Simply take two peeled pears, slice them, and place them in a saucepan. Pour 1/2 cup (125 g) of water and add 2 tbsp. (24 g) of sugar. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the pears are tender.
STEP 2
Next up, grab a medium bowl and throw in some chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place that bowl over a pan of simmering water and start stirring away. Keep at it until everything is combined and slightly cooled.
TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!
STEP 3
In a separate large bowl, crack in some eggs and an egg yolk. Add in some sugar and grab that mixer. Beat it all together until it turns into a fluffy, pale mass. Looking good so far!
STEP 4
Now, it’s time to bring everything together. Pour that chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture and give it a good stir. Add in some flour, salt, and cocoa, and mix it all up until it’s nice and smooth.
STEP 5
Grab a 20cm round baking dish and grease it up with some butter. Arrange those slices of canned pears in there, making it look all fancy.
STEP 6
Pour that chocolate-egg mixture over the pears and let the magic happen.
STEP 7
Slide that baking dish into the preheated to 160°C (320⁰F) oven and let it bake for a solid hour. You’ll know it’s ready when the cake starts to pull away from the edges of the baking dish. The middle should still have a bit of a gooey texture to it.

TIPS: This chocolate mud cake is not your ordinary chocolate cake. It’s packed with loads of chocolate and just a touch of flour, which gives it a gooey and sticky center. But don’t be fooled, this cake is definitely baked to perfection, even if its center is a bit of gooey!
STEP 8
Once it’s done, take that beautiful cake out of the baking dish and flip it over. Now, it’s time to pour in that thick syrup for an extra burst of flavor.
STEP 9
Finally, grab a knife and cut that Upside Down Pear Chocolate Mud Cake into equal pieces. Serve it up warm with a nice cup of tea. Enjoy every delicious bite! Bon appétit!
