Cakes is good. Cake with fruit is better. Cake with fruit baked inside, so the latter turns into a quasi-jam and keeps the former ridiculously moist and tender is, inarguably, one of the best things to ever happen to your sweet tooth. Here are 11 ways to have your fruit and bake it too, with cake recipes as good for dessert as they are for breakfast.

Yogurt adds a slight tartness to this cake from home cook Mária Keresztes Kovács. Our recipe calls for plums, but apricots, peaches, or any stone fruit works too.
Strawberry Loaf Bread
As a kid, I wasn’t really into cooking or baking, preferring instead to be outside playing soccer. The one thing that I did enjoy helping my mom make, however, was her strawberry bread: packed with fresh strawberries, I loved to eat it hot out of the oven slathered in butter. It’s so fast and easy, I make it all the time now, with whatever fresh or frozen fruits I have lying around. —Farideh Sadeghin, test kitchen director Get the recipe for Strawberry Loaf Bread »
