  2. Melt the butter and chocolates together until smooth.
  3. Take the eggs and sugar and fold in the chocolate/butter.
  4. Pour the mixture into a round tin.
  5. Peel the pears and cut into quarters. Remove the core and cut into even sized pieces.
  6. In a separate pan, boil the water with the cinnamon, vanilla and sliced lemon.
  7. Turn down the heat, put in the pears and cover.
  8. Cook until they start to soften.
  9. Take off the heat, drain on paper to remove excess syrup.
  10. Leave to cool before arranging on top of the flourless chocolate cake mixture.
