With tender cake hugging juicy fruit, this fast yet elegant dessert barely adapted from Anna Stockwell’s cookbook For the Table is the definition of simple summer pleasure. Get the fruit macerating before dinner, then stir together the batter while someone else clears the table. You’ll have a warm, gooey dessert — Anna calls it a “spoon cake” — in about 30 minutes. All that’s left to do is top it with homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and dig in.
