CHOCOLATE PEAR PUDDING

This is a cross between pears belle Helene and Eve's pudding, but that's an irrelevance really. The only important thing to remember is that this is easy, quick, very comforting and seems to please absolutely everyone. It's not hard to make sure you always have what you need in the house to make this. And for hot days when baked sponge and sauce seems inappropriate, then bear in mind that tinned (or bottled) pears and chocolate sauce - with or without vanilla ice cream - make a lovely pudding/ dessert on their own. You can make your own chocolate sauce or buy one you like, obviously, but I have a complete storecupoard standby of a sauce which I make by heating together a 170g can/ three quarters of a cup evaporated milk, half a teaspoon instant espresso powder, 150g golden syrup/ half a cup of dark corn syrup and 100g dark chocolate, 70 percent minimum cocoa solids/ 3 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate. 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 with chocolate ice cream. As with any baking, you really do want all ingredients at room temperature before you start.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and grease an 8 1/2-inch square ovenproof dish with butter.
Drain the pears and arrange them on the base of the prepared dish. Put all the remaining ingredients in a processor and blitz until you have a batter with a soft dropping consistency.
Spread the brown batter over the pears, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes and then cut into slabs - I cut 2 down and 2 across to make nine slices - and serve with chocolate sauce.

Ingredients

1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more, for greasing
2 (14-ounce) cans pear halves, in juice
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

CARAMEL PEAR PUDDING CAKE

This is the most delicious dessert, and easy to put together, a great ending to any meal. This can also be made with apples, but use a firm apple such as Granny Smith for this recipe. I usually stick this in the oven, and bake it as we are having dinner, and serve it with ice cream as a topping...so yummy!

Autumn Pear / Apple Pudding Cake image

Steps:

Choose pears or apples, if you pick pears use the ginger, for apples use the cinnamon.
There are two parts to this recipe, the cake and the topping.
To make the cake: Lightly grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan.
Place the fruit in the pan, and sprinkle it with the lemon juice.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, baking powder, spice, and salt till smooth.
Beat in the egg, then add the flour alternately with the milk (1/2 cup flour, the milk, remaining 1/2 cup flour), beating after each addition.
Spoon the batter over the fruit in the pan, spreading it to mostly cover.
To make the topping: Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and spice.
Sprinkle this mixture over the batter, then carefully pour the hot water over all.
It will puddle on top; that's OK.
Bake the cake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 60 minutes, until it's nicely browned on the top.
Remove it from the oven, and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
