Summer Fruit Torte

Category: desserts

4 oz (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temp.
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch salt
1 large plum (or pluot), pitted and chopped
2 apricots (or apriums), pitted and chopped
1 or 2 tbsp granulated sugar for sprinkling (optional)

Preheat oven 350 F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Cream the butter and sugar until light. Mix in vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add dry ingredients and mix just until the flour is incorporated. Batter will be a bit stiff.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Scatter fruit over the batter. Sprinkle with sugar if using.

Bake cake until golden brown or until the tester comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
