Beat 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup margarine at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add extracts and egg; beat well. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat well after each addition. Slowly pour batter over fruit.
