Author Notes
This is my grandma's summer cake. She used to prepare it so many times when we were in vacation. I had almost forgotten it until I came to Brooklyn and I can't resist making it with every new seasonal fruit I find at farmer's market. The best pairing is vanilla ice cream on the side... —heirloom
