Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a very basic cake recipe that you can do a number of different things with. Use any juicy berry (except strawberries) or use pitted cherries. Or cover the surface of the batter with a layer of sliced fruit - plum, apricot, nectarine, peach, apple or pear. You can flavor the batter with vanilla, orange or lemon peel, or a spice. Or bake the cake plain and finish it with fruit and whipped cream or ice cream.
This is so easy to make because you usually have the basic ingredients on hand. All you need is the fresh fruit.
