This is so good. i followed the recipe to a T and ...perfection.The eggs really do need to be at room temp., and a hand mixer is a pain in the butt takes a long time but well worth it!!!!

FROM THE
RECIPE:
Aside from the chocolate chunks, the bits of pear and the browned butter (like I you need to hear anything else before you take off in the direction of the kitchen) one of the coolest things about baking this cake is the eggs, that are beaten far beyond "combined" or "fluffy" but until they have the volume of a shiny, velvety ribbon of a custard, or in other words, if you have an electric mixer of any sort, this is the time to use it. You don't want to skimp on this set.
