So, I was chillin....n....scrollin.......
Came across an article that it was national chocolate cake day today. So.......guess I had to make one.
But, didn't want to make a regular large cake, since I am not a big sweet-tooth person and didn't want all that extra cake in the house. So, decided to make a mini cake. But, then I thought it would be more fun to make a tier cake.  Originally thought 3-4 tier, but then I go back to having that extra amount of cake. So, just a 2-tier will do.
This pic is of a 2nd version. I tried my "healthier" version, but didn't prefer it this time. Once in a while, I can choose healthier options and it turns out really good. Not this time. I still managed to make a Dee-twist on it.....with one unusual ingredient.

• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of flour
• 1/4 cup of cocoa
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tsp of creamer (didn't have my usual whipping cream)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup of matcha tea! 
• 1/2 package of cream cheese- softened

Glaze:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 2 tsp softened butter
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp creamer

Mix dry ingredients together in one bowl. The mix the rest - up with the tea- in another bowl. Combine ingredients. Add to two ramekins and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Let stand.
Make the chocolate glaze while baking. Refrigerate for a bit.
Take cakes out of ramekins and add cream cheese on top. Add one cake over other. Pour glaze on top.........
Enjoy!

1 - Side note: might post the pics of the other "healthier" cake, for you to see if you can tell the difference and which one looks better.

2- I was almost going to just keep with the cheese on top and make the glaze a fondue dip. Maybe next time!

I don't eat pears much. It seems I eat it more in the fall. I think the texture along with the taste is a good combination for this time of year. And, when I haven't had it in a while, when I take that first bite......oh, so juicy and tasty!
In a gift package of foods, were some pears. Many, in fact that I knew I had to use them before they got bad. Pears tend to get bad before apples and other fruits.
I haven't made much with pears, so when I made this cake, I was impressed of the outcome and taste, while being more on the healthier side!

• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 cup honey
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup flax seed
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 3-4 pears
• caramel

Preheat oven to 350. Mix (whipped) eggs, honey, cheese in one bowl. Mix flour, powder, soda & flax seed in another bowl. Slowly add & mix flour mix to egg mix. Dice 3 pears and add to mix. The add soften caramel. Add mix to sprayed baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Soften cream cheese and mix with some honey. Take cake out and let sit for 10 minutes to cool a bit. Add a honey/cream cheese mix to top layer. Then assort sliced pears on top. Bake for another 15-20 minutes. Let sit for a bit, then...serve it up!
