I'm not sure what makes this cake rustic but I just like calling it that. My mother makes this cake often in the summer and the typical version is with plums but I love it with peaches. There is a variety of fruit that would work well in this cake such as cranberries or apples in the fall. You could also add nuts to the batter and flavor elements such as vanilla or nutmeg. It's not too sweet and goes well with some vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or creme fraiche and makes a great addition to a bbq.
