For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the butter-sugar mixture. Ensure the pears are well-drained to prevent a soggy cake. If you don't have dark corn syrup, you can substitute with honey or maple syrup, though the flavor will be slightly different. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
