First you need to deal with the pears. Pears take not too hard, but not soft, of medium density. Pear clean from the skin, cut into four pieces, remove the core and cut into slices. Pears folded into a saucepan, cover with water (200 ml), pour 4 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp butter, cover with a lid and bring to the boil and boil for 3-4 minutes to become a little softer. One, two times to mix gently. As pears have become a little softer, turn off the heat, immediately add the brandy and leave on for 20-30 minutes in the syrup. Then the pears to drain in a sieve, syrup save. Pears and water to cool to room temperature. I got 250-270 ml of syrup.

The remnants of the sweet but useless )))) Here are the candy with Christmas gifts does not want to disappear, I decided to give them a second life. In my opinion about 150-200 g, but my eyes are not scales, I believe it can be, but weak))) of course you Can just take dark chocolate, 120-150 g, as desired. Candy (chocolate), RUB on a small grater.

Margarine to mix with sugar, beat the egg and beat it well with margarine.

Then add milk and vanilla, mix well.

Then add half of the syrup from under the pear and Cup sifted flour with the baking powder, mix well. Then enter the remaining liquid and another Cup of flour, mix well. Add the candy chips, stir.

The dough should get cremate smudged and pretty tight, but fluid. If you need to add another half Cup of flour.

Half of the dough put into a form, then distribute the pear. On top lay the second half of the dough and send in the oven at 180 degrees for 50-80 minutes. Depending on the oven, time more or less, until dry sticks.

Cake let stand in the form of 10-15 minutes, then gently turn on a plate, optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar, allow to cool to room temperature and eat.
