  • Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and flour a 23 cm bundt pan. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add the yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition; gradually add the chocolate and the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk.
  • With the mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared pan. Place the sliced pears or any other fruit on top, and pour the remaining batter over the pears. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the mold for 10 minutes. Unmold and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • For the frosting: Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler over almost boiling water. When smooth and glossy, set aside to cool. Spread over the top and sides of the cake.
