Hi bee jay 45.
I'm sure brown sugar will add another dimension to this scrumptious cake. And sweetened crime fraiche never hurt one!!! It's the perfect complement! Enjoy.

Peaches and blueberries are a great combination. My mom used to serve them with brown sugar and creme fraiche. Do you think brown sugar would be okay on top instead of the white? Then a dollop of lightly sweetened creme fraiche on a serving would be perfect! Thanks!
