Baking is one of my favourite methods of cooking. Nothing gives me more joy than spending a few hours baking something utterly delicious and filling the house with the smell of freshly baked delights. This being said, I like to keep things simple – cue my upside-down pear cake. The combination of soft, sweet pears and light yet flavoursome chocolate espresso sponge is just divine. Pear and chocolate has always been one of my favourite combinations and the shot of espresso gives the cake an extra special twist!
