Over the years, I've competed in several state fair cooking contests, and this cake is one of my most impressive entries. It looks as fantastic as it tastes. The fruit is in season right around Michigan's late August fair time.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
