4. Spread batter evenly in greased 13-x9-inch cake pan. Without overlapping, arrange sliced fruit attractively over top.
5. STREUSEL: In bowl, mix together sugar, flour, almonds and ginger; with pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over fruit.
6. Bake in center of 350 degrees F. oven for about 1 hour or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack.
