7 Cakes That Celebrate Summer Fruit

We eat fruit in the summer by the handfuls -- sometimes out of our fridge, sometimes from farmers market stands (yes, we know we're only supposed to try one piece and no, that doesn't stop us). We top them with cold scoops of ice cream, turn them into refreshing popsicles, and bake them endlessly into bubbling pies and crumbles. But there's yet another way to put all that delicious fruit to good use, and that's to bake them inside of cakes. Nectarines, plums, peaches, and the like are perfect cake fillers; here are 7 recipes that will give you even more excuses to make things with all your beautiful summer produce.
