Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160°C or 140°C fan
Butter and line a 23cm springform baking tin.

Warm the apricot jam to a spreadable consistancy. Put to one side.

Step 2

Briefly whisk the eggs with a fork, just to break up the yolks.
Put the chocolate spread, butter, eggs and salt into a large bowl. Beat for 1 min until mixture is smooth and slightly bubbly.

Step 3

Quarter the pears. Cut 4 slits into the fat part of each quarter. Press lightly to make fan shapes.
Glaze the pears with the jam from Step 1.

Step 4

Sift the flour and cocoa into the chocolate mixture and fold in until smooth.

Step 5

Scrape into the tin and smooth.
Rest the pears on the top (do not press into the mixture!)

Step 6

Bake for 40 mins until risen with a thin crust. (The cake should have a very slight wobble and a skewer inserted into the middle should come out coated with soft cake batter)
