Here's my favorite. It's kind of a rhubarb upside down cake. But you could use other fruit if you don't like rhubarb.

Rhubarb Custard Cake

1 white or yellow cake mix
4 cups of chopped rhubarb
1 cup of white sugar
1 pint of whipping cream

Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Pour in a greased 9” X 13” cake pan.

Cover with the rhubarb and sprinkle with the sugar.

Pour the whipping cream over the entire cake pan.

Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Cream and rhubarb sink to the bottom and form a luscious custard layer. This stuff is yummy.

Get a copy of Fanny Farmer - paperback cookbook. The Huntington Chocolate cake is perfect - not too sweet, but very chocolate. The Boston Favorite in there is a good "yellow" cake, too.
