This freezes well, too. Wrap it in parchment and foil then put it in a freezer bag. To serve, just thaw in refrigerator, unwrap, then dust with confectioners' sugar and slice.
This is a pretty basic recipe that you can tweak for any season. Use peaches, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or any fruit you desire.
