The intense flavor of cloves is best when used in small amounts. In this recipe, just a touch of cloves complements the other more mellow spices as well as the brown sugar and maple syrup. As they bake, the sliced pears release sweet juices that mingle with the aromatic spices and soak into the rich, buttery cake.
