Place whipping cream in small bowl.  Split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into whipping cream.  Put pod in cream.  Let sit in fridge overnight.  Remove bean pod.  Whip cream until it forms soft peaks.  Mix in powdered sugar, adjusting to taste.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Put butter in a 9x13 pan and set in oven to melt.  When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.

Whisk flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.  Add milk and whisk to form a smooth batter.  Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter.  Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp sugar.

Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50 to 60 minutes.  Serve warm with a dollop of vanilla bean whipped cream.
