Warm Chocolate Raspberry Pudding Cake (with Wedge Mountain Roses & Rubies ~ Raspberry Dessert Wine)

The beauty of this cake is that the frosting is baked in the same pan with the batter. When the cake is inverted onto a cake plate a few minutes after baking, it is bathed, miraculously, with frosting. Although this cake is best served warm, it is also delicious at room temperature.

In "honor" of the fact that April has become "Pear Month" in Leavenworth, we decided to post a pear recipe from our good friends Alex and Joanne Saliby, Leavenworth, WA:   "peared", of course, with either our 2010 Syrah, or our 2010 Cabernet Franc..
