So is there any difference between 一份 and 一块 or both have the same meaning?

How is 份儿 pronounced? I can guess, but I'm sure I would be wrong.

I have a question regarding 把面包平均分成两份儿
Pleco tells me that 平均 is an adjective, so why is it not
把面包平均地分成两份儿 ?

It's also an adverb! I recommend you get multiple Pleco dictionaries as some are better than others.
