Chocolate plumcake with pears - Plumcake al cioccolato e pere - Plumcake od čokolade s kruškama

The night of full moon is magic. It's full of bright light, brighter then the brightest star in the sky.
If you take a walk in the garden during one of those nights, don't take a flashlight, you won't need it. Just let yourself be guided by the cold perfume of golden summer fruits. And the golden summer fruits will shine in the night. They will reflect the bright moonlight like the mirror reflecting your own image. 
What would happen if one of those magical nights bewitch your person  and keep it stacked to your unreal world in which you will fluctuate and observe the surrounding, motionless, speechless, invisible. Hidden inside that darkness.



That night the light was incredible hot and the view was endless. And the perfume in the air was sweet, but dry like the drought-stricken summer. Waiting until the rainy days will come and will break the season. Someone says that moonlight keeps people awake and make the dreamless sleepers think about their bigger dreams.





That night the moon was so clear and bright like a white pear pulp in the middle of dark chocolate cake. Inside of the sweet and dark chocolate cake you will find the juicy hart!
