Step 1
Take the butter out of the refrigerator a few hours before cooking (it should soften).

Beat the butter and sugar together with a mixer until smooth for a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 356°F.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured rectangular baking pan (24-26 cm long) and smooth it out. Place the pear wedges on top and gently press them into the batter.

Bake the cake for about an hour, checking for doneness with a wooden stick.
