Ingredients

6 tbsp butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 cup fruit -(any type that sounds good – raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, apples etc)

Optional cake seasonings – poppy seeds, cinnamon, sliced almonds.

Streusel topping
5 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp cold/frozen butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350^oF. Soften the 6 tbsp butter. Add the butter and sugar and beat until it is well combined and fluffy.

Stir in the vanilla and egg and beat until smooth.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder together. Add into the butter mixture, in small portions alternatively with the milk. Repeat until well combined. Pour into a greased 9 inch spring form pan.

Sprinkle the fruit over the top of the cake batter. At this point you can sprinkle with 3 tbsp of white sugar and bake OR make the streusel topping.

To make the streusel topping, grate the butter into the flour and sugar. Combine and toss with your hands. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cake and bake the cake 350^oF for about an hour or until golden brown. Allow the cake to cool before enjoying.
