Author Notes: Peaches with blueberries, rhubarb with strawberries and apples with blackberries…all fruit combinations I think are delicious together. This cake is really easy to make and excellent with an afternoon cup of tea…especially when one needs a reprieve from a hectic day. —The Cautious Vegetarian
