CHOCOLATE PEAR LOAF CAKE

Chocolate and pears are a classic combination that every one seems to love. For some reasons, I never got myself to work with both these ingredients together. This had to change. One Sunday, I pulled out some staple ingredients from my kitchen shelf- whole wheat flour from 24 Mantra Organic, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, among others. I love whole wheat flour cakes. You have to try out organic whole wheat flour- makes so much difference! I used cinnamon, ginger and orange zest to spice the chocolate cake. To add that extra kick, I also added a pinch of organic chili powder from 24 Mantra. That was a good decision!
