Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter.

Sprinkle the greased pan with bread crumbs, ensuring even coverage.

Remove any loose bread crumbs by tapping the pan upside down.

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and milk.

Beat the mixture until well blended.

Add sugar and salt to the egg mixture.

Continue beating until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Gradually add flour to the wet ingredients.

Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Peel the pears.

Slice the peeled pears in half and remove the seeds and core.

Cut the pear halves lengthwise into thin slices.

Add the sliced pears to the bowl with the batter.

Mix gently to combine the pears with the batter; the batter will be thick.

Spoon the pear mixture into the prepared cake pan.

Spread the batter evenly using the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Dot the surface of the batter with small pieces of butter.

Place the pan in the preheated oven on the top rack.

Bake for approximately 45 minutes.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

The cake is ready when the top is lightly golden brown.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan.

Once the cake is cool enough to handle, carefully remove it from the pan.

Serve the pear cake warm or at room temperature.
