Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced pears and chocolate chips (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

For an extra rich flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
Ensure pears are ripe but not mushy for the best texture.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
