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.

On January 8, 2025, sources spilled to TMZ about Jessica Alba and Cash Warren's separation. The sources shared that the couple is allegedly "moving forward" with a divorce, so unfortunately it doesn't seem like this split is a short-term solution.

TMZreported that both Jessica and have gone in public without wedding rings recently — Jessica as recent as the Golden Globes afterparties on January 5, 2025. Apparently, one of the last times the two were spotted publicly was back in November 2024. Outside of that, the couple celebrated their son's birthday at Universal Studios together in January, but it's unclear how official the separation was at that point.

Well, Jessica just confirmed her split from Cash on Instagram. The actress shared:

I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash. I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.

We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.

A source toldUS Weekly that the couple could actually file for divorce "soon." The source said, "Cash has been slowly moving things out of their house but since the fires, they have been spending more time under one roof as a family. They are being there for each other right now as it is a very stressful time."

According to PEOPLE, Jessica and Cash got engaged in 2007, after meeting on the set of Fantastic Four back in 2004. They got married and stayed together for 16 years, welcoming three children to their family: Honor (16), Haven (13), and Hayes (7).

Back in 2021, Alba told PEOPLE that they tend to "over-communicate" in order to best support each other and their different needs. She said that they don't have a "secret" to making it work — they "just need to check in with each other."

Whatever happens next, we hope that Jessica, Cash, and their kids are able to find peace and happiness throughout this major transition.
