We are at that point in the year it's not quite cool enough to embrace fall but still warm enough that you aren't ready to let go of summer. So, to embrace the end of summer I made a summer fruit cobbler cake. This cake is soft, and moist with seasonal sun ripened fruit on top. Because the cake is only slightly sweet, I always serve mine warm with vanilla ice cream.
