Preparation
Finely chop the dark chocolate. Whip the sugar with the eggs in a bowl. Combine the coconut oil, yogurt, milk and vanilla and continue mixing. Add the chocolate and finally the sifted flour, the yeast and a pinch of salt, continuing to mix until you obtain a smooth mixture without lumps. Peel the pears and core them. Pour half the mixture into a cake pan previously buttered with coconut oil or use silicone ones. Cut a pear into small pieces and distribute it on the dough. Pour the remaining mixture and decorate it with the other pear (I cut it into slices and distribute them like petals from the center of the cake) Bake in a static oven at 160° for about 50 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar or decorate with chocolate chips like I did!
