Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a 24 cm round tin.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture pales and doubles in volume.
  3. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and melted butter, then mix gently.
  4. Sift in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt, then pour in the milk and mix without overworking the batter.
  5. Peel and cut the fruit into thin slices, then arrange them over the base of the tin.
  6. Pour the batter over the top and smooth the surface.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.
  8. Let it cool slightly before turning out, then dust with icing sugar if you like.

Plum version. Use plums in season, halved, for a slightly tangier taste.
