Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped pears.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 35-45 minutes for a round pan, or 45-55 minutes for a 9×13 inch pan, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

For an extra festive touch, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter along with the pears.
Ensure your pears are ripe but not overly mushy for the best texture in the cake.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
