Summer Cake of Fruit (as opposed to fruitcake ;)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
grated zest of one lemon
1 cup flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups diced fruit (blueberries and strawberries this go 'round)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream the butter and the sugar (I do this by hand using two forks). Add the grated lemon zest. Add the eggs, and vanilla, stirring each to combine. In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine. Pour the batter into a greased 8″ pan. Top with the fruit. Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle the mixture on top of the fruit. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is browned.
