Country Crisp Pear & Chocolate Crumble Cake

This is a lovely dessert; fruit, chocolate and a cakey texture too.

Serves: 6 – 8
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 30 mins

For the pears:
30g butter
30g golden granulated sugar
2 pears, peeled and thinly sliced

For the cake:
75g butter, softened
75g golden caster sugar
3 eggs, beaten
75g self raising flour
50g chocolate chips
150g Jordans Chocolate Country Crisp
1 tsp vanilla extract
Single cream, to serve

How to do it:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C fan/ 200 C/ Mk 6. Prepare a 23cm/ 9 inch tin.
2. Heat the butter in an open pan over medium heat, and add the pear slices. Cook for 2 minutes, then sprinkle over the sugar. Turn the slices, then cook for a further 2 minutes. Set aside while you mix the cake.
3. Cream together the butter and half of the sugar until creamy. Add the eggs in 3 batches, and stir until well combined. Fold in the flour, and then the chocolate chips. Spoon this in to the base of the prepared tin, and sprinkle over half of the Jordans Country Crisp. Arrange the pears decoratively on the surface, and sprinkle with the remaining Jordans Country Crisp.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean. Serve warm with single cream.
