Preheat oven to 350°F

Whisk together your first three ingredients.

Peel and core pears. Cut into slices.

Beat eggs until foamy. Whisk in sugar and vanilla. Stir in 1/2 of the melted butter.

Stir in the dry ingredients, then the remaining butter.

Fold in the pears and mix until well coated in batter. Pour into a greased cake pan. Spread out evenly with a spatula. To make it pretty, you might want to arrange the pear slices neatly over the top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Serve with a big spoonful of goat cheese whipped cream.
