To make a dairy-free version of this recipe, substitute margarine for the butter and soy milk for the regular milk. The cake can be made (without the pears) 1 day ahead, and stored in plastic wrap at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter a 10-inch springform pan. Dust with flour; tap out excess. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Mix the eggs and sugars on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until pale and thick, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk together the honey, milk, oil, and zest. With the mixer on low, add the honey mixture to the egg mixture; mix until combined, about 1 minute. Add half the flour mixture; mix until smooth. Mix in the remaining flour mixture. Pour the batter into the pan.
- Bake until dark golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of the cake; carefully remove the sides of the pan. Transfer the cake to a platter. Top with pears. Serve with whipped cream or topping, if desired.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar; cook, stirring, until almost dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pears; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and just golden, 12 to 20 minutes. Pour in the honey; cook, stirring, until the pears are coated and very soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
