Preheat the oven to 350?F. Grease a 9 inch round cake pan and line
it with a circle of wax or nonstick paper. Beat the butter and sugar
until creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. If the mixture starts
to curdle, beat in a little flour. Sift in the flour and 1 1/2
tablespoons cinnamon and beat for 2 minutes. Spoon into the prepared
pan and smooth the top. Arrange the pear slices on top. Mix the
sugar and remaining cinnamon and sprinkle over the pears. Bake for 1
to 1 1/2 hours, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out
clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serves 8
