  • 2 tablespoons Mortimer chocolate powder
  • 1 tin of pear halves drained
For the sponge:
  • 100g butter
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 100g self raising flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Method
Butter an oven proof pudding dish. Put the pear halves in the bottom and sprinkle over the chocolate.

For the sponge:
In a large mixing bowl beat together the butter and sugar until soft. Beat in the eggs a little at a time, with a small amount of the flour. (This stops the mixture from curdling).

Sieve and fold in the flour followed by the milk. Spread the mixture over the pears.

Bake at 170 deg C (150 deg C for fan ovens), for 50-60 minutes until the sponge is springy to the touch.

Serve warm with cream or custard.

Pears and chocolate go well together, but other fruit could be used. Blackberry and apple is yummy.
