I must say that rarely I prepare something that is so full of fats, but this is absolute heaven, and it’s perfect for a birthday or a special occasion or whenever you want a chocolate treat!
Eating this cake you’ll experience various consistencies, from the soft delicate pears slices to the crunchy chocolate chips and nuts. The nicest thing is that is very easy to bake and it takes about an hour to prepare and cook. The triple chocolate comes from the three types of chocolate added: cocoa powder, dark chocolate (70%) and chocolate chips, so if you like chocolate you should definitely try it!
Healthty advice: if you suffer from nickel allergy you might not want to eat this cake or at least eat just a little slice of it (it depends on how bad your allergy is).
Chocolate and pears are naturally filled with nickel so if you don’t want to spend the rest of the day with annoying collateral effects.. you better try something else.
Now let’s prepare the cake:

Hi Elisa
I have found this cake and love the look of it. I am actually making it as we speak and got confused with the regards to the double cream. It shows in ingredients yet not sure where it comes in the recipe?? Do you melt it together with chocolate (ganache like) or add it separately.
Thank you!
