Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups pecans
- 1/3 cup water
- 5 – 6 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 box of cake mix
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 ripe pears
- 2/3 cup butterscotch topping
Instructions:
| Step | Description | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). | 5 minutes |
| 2 | Spray a 9″ or 10″ springform pan with Pam or non-stick spray. | 2 minutes |
| 3 | In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted, stirring occasionally. | 5 minutes |
| 4 | In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, cinnamon, and vegetable oil until crumbly. | 3 minutes |
| 5 | Place the ripe pears in a blender and blend until smooth. | 2 minutes |
| 6 | In another large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of the cake mix mixture, the blended pears, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then increase to medium speed for 2 minutes. | 5 minutes |
| 7 | Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. | 2 minutes |
| 8 | Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate chip mixture over the batter. | 2 minutes |
| 9 | Stir the pecans and water into the remaining cake mix mixture until well blended, then sprinkle over the batter. | 3 minutes |
| 10 | Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top of the torte springs back lightly when touched in the center. Be careful not to overbake, as the cake will become dry. | 45-50 minutes |
| 11 | Allow the torte to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the side of the springform pan and continue cooling. | 10 minutes |
| 12 | In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butterscotch topping and milk. Heat for 3-4 minutes or until well blended, stirring occasionally. | 4 minutes |
| 13 | To serve, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the warm sauce onto a plate and top with a wedge of the torte. | 5 minutes |
