Chocolate cakes with pears - 10/3/09
My friends Hanh and Huy gave me a bunch of Asian pears and I just can not eat them all so I decided to make individual chocolate cakes with Pears.

These little cakes are so tasty with a spoon of ice cream and hot cup of coffee. They are also great for breakfast!
