Author Notes
This cake will take you ten minutes to make. Including cutting the fruit.
If you have a Cuisinart, you can probably do it in 5.
Unless you are a vegan, you likely have everything you need in the kitchen without a dreaded trip to the store. Really, it's so easy I have tweeted the recipe.

Ingredients
-
1
stick of butter
-
1
scant cup sugar
-
1
egg
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
3/4 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1 cup
all purpose flour
-
1-2
peaches, peeled (or not)
-
just a couple
blueberries (for the center)
Directions
-
Cream butter and sugar.
-
Add egg and vanilla.
-
Stir in salt, baking powder and flour
-
The batter will be thick. Scrape and spread it into a buttered 8 inch pan. Press the batter down a bit in the center so it will cook more evenly. Though if you like that gooey center sort of thing then just let it be.
-
Slice and arrange peaches around the outside of the cake.Throw some blueberries or blackberries in the center for some color. You can sprinkle the fruit with coarse sugar. Or not.
-
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes then check. The edges should be brown and the center should look firm having puffed around the fruit, but this thing should not pass a toothpick cake test or it will be overdone.
