I had been wanting to use pears in a cake for a while, and originally thought of making it with amaretti, but I didn’t have any at home. I did have some old dark chocolate that wasn’t good enough to eat on its own, so I decided to combine pears and chocolate (only dark chocolate). I looked at several recipes, mixed and matched the amounts and ingredients, and ended up with this flavorful and hearty bundt cake.
