Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 cups fresh fruits of your choice (such as apples, bananas, peaches, and strawberries)
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
In a separate bowl, mix together the fruits, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Sprinkle the mixture over the cake batter. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
