This cake batter is delicious with fresh fruit too, like peaches or even plums cut up. When you mix the two it is heaven. This is one of those disheds that my mom's close friend, Sandrine, use to make. She knows how much I appreciate her treats that hs eoften made when she knew that I was coming over to her house. The memories come flooding back when I bake this at home. So delicious!

1 cup butter

Greese a 9x11 pan.

Spread dough in pan, Spoon pie filling on top of the dough; when the cake is cooking the fruit will fall through and create a wonderfully yummy result.
