Vanilla cake with summer fruit

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Spray a 9x13-in. glass baking dish with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment paper. Spray again. Stir flour with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
2. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until butter is creamy. Add sugar. Cream together until fluffy.
3. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Beat well to incorporate. On low speed, add a third of the flour mixture followed by half of the milk. Repeat additions, ending with flour.
4. Scrape into prepared pan. Smooth top gently. Bake in centre of oven until it is deep golden and a cake tester inserted into centre of cake comes out clean, 65 to 75 min. If cake becomes deep golden before it is done baking, cover very loosely with foil. Cool on a rack 10 min, then remove from pan and cool completely, about 2 hours.
5. Whisk milk into icing sugar until smooth. Whisk in extract. Spread over cooled cake. Slice cake, then serve topped with berries and peaches.

1. Cake seems very soft. It pretty much fell apart at the edges when I removed it (gently) from the pan. It tastes great and I'm sure once the berries and glaze are on that it will be great! I'd recommend letting it cool longer in the pan.

2. I'm not going to make this cake - who needs, after dinner, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 5 tablespoons of flour and 1.5 tablespoons of butter - that's 636 calories and 22 grams of fat! Skip the cake and have the berries.
