Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. CAKE.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F Butter a 9in springform cake pan, then line the bottom with baking paper and butter the paper.
  3. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Process the chocolate and pistachios in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
  5. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating until well combined, then beat in the vanilla.
  6. Stir the flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture, then add the pistachio and chocolate mixture and the pear.
  7. Pour into the springform pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 30-40 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes then carefully remove the mold.
  8. CHOCOLATE GANACHE.

  13. Enjoy!
