This is a cobbler like cake that went together easily and was very tasty. I made several changes but still kept to the concept of the recipe. I used a combination of frozen raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I reduced the sugar by half in the berries and sprinkled them with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. A whole cup of sugar would have been way too sweet. I used the juice from only half a small lemon and it was still quite noticable I would reduce it further. In the cake I cut the sugar to 1/3 cup we liked that level of sweetness - though I think the 1/2 cup would be fine too. I added 1 tsp vanilla and a 1/2 tsp almond extract - I would increase the almond next time especially if making a peach cake. Without the flavorings this would have been very bland. The cake has a slightly course texture that was fine with the berries - DH thought it might have been too dry if I'd used the apples. I served it with lightly sweetened whipped cream. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, I will be trying it again with other fruit. MAde for ZWT5 for the Cooks With Dirty Faces.

Yikes!! My daughter had fun in PaintShop Pro!! What she can do with a picture. My husband and I live in the "bush" and hour from the closest town. Life here is quiet, yet so much more busy than when we lived in the "city". We grow our own veggies, several kinds of berries, and grow lots of hard neck organic garlic. We have 60 chickens, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird. Quite the menagerie. I make all my own breads, and sell them (along with the eggs). I have a group of friends whom I make extra goodies for. http://www.quizmeme.com/poohpersonality/quiz.php <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i425.photobucket.com/albums/pp340/northwestgal/redbannercopy.jpg" border="0" alt="New Kids Participation Banner"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/soup_banner.jpg"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/KBparticipation.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src ="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/lazymecookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/GGtiedyesmall.gif" > <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
