Very simple, very delicious, got raves at my house. We're not big sweet eaters, but this is the kind of thing we like. Fresh fruit flavor, enhanced by sugar rather than drowned in it.

- I did not use any of the optional cloves; 12 whole ones sounds like it would be overwhelming.
- I forgot the bits of butter on the top, and can't say it was missed
- I cut the sugar back a bit, using maybe 7/8 cup, rather than one
- Finely chopped walnuts on the bottom might be nice
- A bit of ground cardamon in the batter might be nice
