Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Coat parchment with cooking spray, then dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

• Slice cake in half horizontally. Slice each portion in half again to create 4 equal slices.
• Filling: Bring 2 cups peaches, granulated sugar, salt, and 1/3 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until fruit is tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then puree mixture in a food processor until smooth (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Let sit until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat over medium, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in peach mixture to combine. Transfer to a large bowl; place in ice bath and let stand, stirring frequently, until beginning to set, about 6 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 1/2 cups peaches and cherries. Whisk cream to stiff peaks, then fold into peach mixture. Continue stirring over ice bath until mixture will hold its shape when dropped off a spoon.
