One of the New York Times all-time favorite recipes is the Plum Torte. What makes it so special is the way the plums meld into the cake in a sweet purplish jammy delight.  If you watched the Great British Baking Show, the challenge for a Mary Berry type cherry cake is to keep those darn cherries suspended.  Finally, an old family recipe for peach cobbler- because every family could use a peach cobbler recipe.  We’ll serve it with some homemade vanilla ice cream that will be made ahead.  Plum Torte, Mary Berry Cherry Cake, Peach Cobbler, Vanilla Ice Cream
