Cuppa Cuppa Cake is a classic, easy-to-make dessert that’s perfect for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. The name comes from the simple measurements: a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of fruit (usually peaches or berries). Here’s how to make it:
