This peach-flavored summer dessert is fantastic! Served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, it would be really special.

Reviews
I put half the batter down and layered a quart of home canned peaches drained. Then put the other half the batter on top and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar
Fruit sunk to bottom. Cooking time way too long; cooked minimum suggested and cake was over cooked, very dark on top and very dry.
Simply a great cake that tastes as fresh as summer mornings. Easy to make and delicious for breakfast or tea time. I had a hard time fitting all the fruit on top. In fact, in the end I had to leave out one peach and one plum. I guess the final amount will depend on the size of your fruit.
