Red Wine Pear Cake With Chocolate Ganache

Ingredients:

Pears

• 3-4 firm Bosc pears
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups red wine
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3-4 whole cloves or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Cake

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 full-fat coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 11 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1/2 teaspoon pink salt
• 1/2 cup 85% dark chocolate chips or bar broken into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup gluten-free or regular all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Ganache

• 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk or heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons reserved spiced wine (see recipe notes)

Directions:

1. Peel the skin off the pears and remove the stems, seeds, and core. Slice in half. Add water, red wine, cinnamon, and cloves into a saucepan and place the pears in the liquid. Bring the wine mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 20 minutes, until the pears are tender. Remove the pears from red wine and let cool. Continue simmering until sauce is reduced, and reserve 2 tablespoons for the chocolate ganache.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Grease two 9-inch springform cake pans with butter or oil and set aside.
4. Whisk two eggs in a separate bowl and set aside.
5. In a small bowl, add the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar and whisk thoroughly. Let sit for at least 5 minutes.
6. In a separate saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in the coconut sugar then remove from heat and add in the red wine and salt until well mixed. Quickly add in the dark chocolate pieces and stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Pour the vanilla extract in and whisk again.
7. Add about one third of the chocolate mixture to the whisked eggs. Mix thoroughly and then pour back into a mixing bowl with the rest of the chocolate mixture.
8. Add in coconut milk mixture, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until well combined.
9. Pour the cake batter into two greased cake pans.
10. Slice wine-poached pear halves in quarters and place in your desired design on top of the cake batter in the cake pans.
11. Bake the cakes for 20-30 minutes.
12. While cakes are baking, add the dark chocolate and coconut milk or heavy cream to a small saucepan. Heat on low until the chocolate is melted, whisking so that it is well mixed. Add in the reserved wine sauce and whisk again. Remove from heat and set aside.
13. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely before removing them from the springform pans. Place one cake on a cake platter or stand, and drizzle some chocolate ganache on top. Then place the second cake on top of the first and pour the remaining chocolate ganache over the top.

When will Gladiator 2 start streaming?

Great question! Gladiator 2 is reportedly available to watch RIGHT NOW on Paramount+ so consider yourself lucky if you're already a subscriber (via The Hollywood Reporter) . The outlet also reports you can buy it on Prime Video or Apple TV!

Let's make a pact to watch it after work so we can be entertained on yet another snow day.

Watch The New 'Gladiator 2' Trailer Now

Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Denzel Washington, and Paul Mescal were absolutely electric together! And the use of "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z and Ye? My jaw literally dropped.

I originally wanted to know if these three powerhouses could form an alliance that would change the future in Gladiator 2. Despite the outcome (no spoiler alerts here!), there was sizzling action...and bodies. And by sizzling, I really mean it. Paul revealed in an interview with EW that his arena scene, which will feature a CGI rhino, was so hot, he was "borderline throwing up."

"We shot that for about two or three days, but the heat was just….My Irish blood does not function with Ridley's shooting schedule, which is like sun up to sun down, hottest parts of the day," he says. "It was brutal, the fight. I grew up playing sports, so I would consider myself pretty robust and happy to throw myself around, but it was just the [arena] itself became like a radiator. I was borderline throwing up, irritable, just hardcore. Between takes I was firing ice straight down my back."

Pedro Pascal also recalled a few memorable moments from shooting the film, and my personal favorite was what sounds like the greatest blooper of all time. "I was running off the drawbridge, and they kind of dressed it with some dust so that when it slams against the fortified wall, there's a big puff of smoke, of dust," he says. "And I'm charging off the drawbridge and jumping over the wall, and I slip,. I literally bounce off the drawbridge on my —ss and land splat in front of Paul's feet on the first take." And in true Pedro fashion, he followed up with, "Are you not entertained?"

"There was a moment when we were rehearsing my fight scene with Pedro, and I had an idea towards the end of the scene to kiss Pedro on the forehead," Paul adds, referencing a cut scene. "I was like, 'Ridley: Kiss on the forehead, did you like it? Yay or nay?' There was radio silence for a second. His radio crackles back, and [Ridley] goes, 'I'm afraid I did.'"

The first look at Paul Mescal's character Lucius featured our new lead ready for battle. When I first saw this picture, all I could think was "Wherever Paul leads, I'll follow."
