Stone Fruit Cake
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (soft)

- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 donut peaches (or any ripe stone fruit that you have on hand), sliced
- 2 plums, sliced
- Toppings can vary to your liking- a drizzle of lemon and sprinkle of sugar or jam and powdered sugar.
- Preheat oven to 350
- Cream sugar and butter until fluffy - about 5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, then follow with the flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla and mix well.
- Using a silicon spatula scrape the cake batter into a buttered and floured rectangular tart pan or cake pan of your choice.
- Arrange the stone fruit in a alternating pattern a top of the batter (this way you get plums and peaches in one bite).
- Sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon of sugar and a squeeze of lemon or in lieu of sugar and lemon or you can brush the fruit with your favorite preserves.
