- Preheat the oven to 190 C / Gas mark 5. Put a circle of baking parchment in the bottom of a 25cm (10 in) cake tin and lightly oil the parchment and the inside of the tin.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coffee, buttermilk, oil and vanilla extract. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly until blended.
- Line the bottom of the tin with the sliced pears in a circular design and pour the mixture on top of the pears. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.
- Place on a rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of tin to loosen it and gently turn it out. Allow to cool completely before serving.
