Summer fruit cake

¾ cup butter, softened

¾ cup sugar

2 large eggs

1½ tsp. vanilla

1½ cups flour

1 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. cinnamon

¼ tsp. salt

1/3 cup milk

1 ½ cups blueberries

2 peaches, pitted, peeled, and diced

1 plum, pitted and diced

Topping:

2 T. butter, softened

3 T. flour

3 T. brown sugar

¼ tsp. cinnamon

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 pan.

Beat butter and sugar on high for 2 minutes or until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour through milk until blended. Gently fold ½ cup blueberries into batter.

Spread batter into pan and top with remaining fruit.

In a small bowl mix topping ingredients until clumpy, then scatter over fruit.

Bake 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Serve warm with a dab of whipped topping and/or ice cream.

Just another quick recipe that I tried out of a magazine...even Nick liked it because the fruit was baked instead of fresh. I think I'll have to try some other fruit combinations with the blueberries next time. Delicious!
