Chocolate cupcake with pears

Ingredients

• Syrup:
• 400 ml water
• 70 g sugar
• Dough:
• 200 g flour
• 100 g butter
• 30 g cocoa
• 2 large eggs
• 150 g sugar
• 1 tsp with a slide of baking powder
• 100 g sour cream
• As well as:
• 3-4 pears

Directions

1. Pour sugar into water, mix, put on the stove and bring to a boil. Peel the pears, but leave the tails. Transfer the pears to the boiling syrup.
2. Boil the fruits until soft, but do not allow them to fall apart. They should be fairly tight.
3. Ready pears are removed from the syrup, cool and dry.
4. Beat eggs with sugar.
5. Add sour cream and mix.
6. In a separate bowl, sift flour, cocoa and baking powder.
7. Combine dry mixture with egg, add melted butter and mix thoroughly.
8. Grease a baking dish with butter, pour the dough into it and level it.
9. Insert pears into the dough (3 or 4, how many will fit) with tails up and slightly press into the dough, do not press to the very bottom.
10. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about an hour.
11. It is better to check the readiness of the cake with a match or a wooden skewer, piercing the dough near the pears. Pears give juice and bake for the longest time near them.
12. Let the cake rest in the tin for 15-20 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
13. Cut into portions and serve with tea
