Step 1
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks.

Combine the egg yolks with sugar and softened butter, mixing thoroughly until well incorporated.
Step 3
Gradually add the milk to the mixture, stirring continuously.
Step 4
Sift in the flour and baking powder, blending until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Step 5
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using deliberate, slow movements to maintain the airiness.
Step 6
Split the prepared batter evenly into two bowls.
Into one bowl, mix in the chopped chocolate.

Line a 28cm diameter baking tray with parchment paper.
Pour the chocolate-infused batter into the tray, smoothing it out to an even layer.
Step 8
Slice two pears thinly and arrange the slices atop the chocolate batter layer.

Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
