Chocolate loaf cake with whole pears | on Due fili d'erba | Two blades of grass |Photos, styling and Recipe by Thais FK

Does someone know why loaf cakes are called “plumcakes” in Italian? And no, usually there are no plums in it. Anyways, I’ve wanted to make a loaf cake for a long time now and I think that with this recipe I really nailed it. This loaf cake is pretty delicious. I love the combination of the cake and the moist & juicy pears. I’d serve it with some vanilla sauce, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
I had actually made this cake first time during the winter. Had the recipe ready for months, had taken the pictures… I just didn’t make the final steps, that is choosing and editing the pictures, plus writing the blog post. I should find a way to be more constant in that. But, you see, for some reason after creating a recipe and shooting the pictures, something springs in my brain that makes me think that the job is all done and ready, when it’s actually only half-way-through. Maybe because the funnest part is over? I don’t know. Does that happen only to me, or is it a problem with other fellow bloggers as well? I wonder..

I made this cake with rice flour and it worked out perfectly also as a gluten-free version!
