Como fazer Summer Fruit Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients (egg mixture), mixing until just combined.
Gently stir in 2 cups chopped peaches, 1 cup chopped apricots, 1 cup chopped plums, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup milk.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven and immediately poke the entire surface with a toothpick or fork.
Slowly pour the glaze over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
