Line a 26cm springform pan with baking paper. Peel, halve, and core the pears. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat 80g butter and 150g pears with 2 tablespoons of water in a pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, place the pears cut-side down in the pan and simmer for 2 minutes. Place the pears cut-side down in the baking pan, pour the liquid from the pan over them, and set aside. Cream the remaining 185g butter with the remaining 330g sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder, sift over the egg mixture, and mix everything well. Spread the slightly tough batter over the pears. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Test for doneness as a precaution. Let the cake rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Then turn out and serve warm or cold.
