Summer Tart


We had ripe peaches and strawberries in the fridge and I came across this recipe for peach cake. With my healthy modifications mine came out more like a tart, but absolutely yummy. I've also nicknamed this a fruit cookie because the bottom has a scone-like texture. This recipe makes a good base for other seasonal fruits. I had made it again the other night and used frozen blueberries for the middle. Yummo!

1-1/2 tsp baking powder
