Peach Blueberry Cake

A simple peach blueberry cake with a crunchy sugar topping. This cake is moist thanks to the butter and sour cream, plus all of the fresh peaches and blueberries.
This makes a small 9-inch round cake (like our peaches and cream cake) with a coffee cake texture. Sprinkling sugar over the cake before baking creates a lovely “sugar shell” topping. It’s unbelievable!
This peach blueberry cake has an irresistible crackly sugar crunch.
One of my favorite summer cakes to make in May, June and the first part of July is our red white and blue cake with blueberries and raspberries. It’s perfect for the summer holidays!
But as soon as the middle of July hits, I switch up the fruits to include fresh peaches. Peaches are great in peach crisp or peach cobbler, peach muffins, peach rolls and peach bread, but this cake? It’s my weakness.
It takes about 15 minutes and about 40 minutes to bake. It’s made with traditional ingredients and uses butter instead of oil for amazing flavor.
I shared this with my parents and my in-laws, and they both loved it! I could make it every week and not get tired of it. It’s that good.

Key Ingredients
- Fresh fruit. I make this often with fresh fruit, but if you only have frozen berries and peaches, let them thaw and drain first so it doesn’t affect the cooking time. Canned peach slices work as well, but again, let them drain well first.
- Sour cream. I recommend full fat sour cream. It doesn’t work as well with light or fat free sour cream. You can also use whole milk Greek yogurt, which adds protein!
- Flour. This peach blueberry cake also works well with gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Instructions

- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or with a large bowl and hand mixer), whip together the butter and 1 cup of the sugar (the other ¼ will go on top) until pale and fluffy, about five minutes. ½ cup salted butter , 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture, mixing just until combined after each addition. 1 ⅓ cup all-purpose flour , 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoons salt, ½ cup full-fat sour cream

- Bake 35-40 minutes, until the top is crackly and lightly browned and the center still jiggles just a bit. A toothpick inserted in the center will have moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan and then serve.
Notes
- If you use a smaller pan, it may take longer to bake! Also, using low fat/fat free sour cream or yogurt may require a longer baking time.
Storage Instructions:
- At Room Temperature: If you plan to eat the cake within 1-2 days, you can store it at room temperature. Cover the cake tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.

Hi! Do you leave the skin on the peaches? Thank you
Made this yesterday and again today for a friend and subbed freshly picked huckleberries for the blueberries and WOW. So simple, so tasty, and it looks beautiful!
This was a magnificent cake! I didn’t have blueberries so I used extra peaches. I also had no sour cream but I did have peach yogurt, so I used that along with a touch of almond extract. It was so delicious. My husband wants it again this week as a birthday cake.
Is it possible to use this batter for muffins/cupcakes instead of one big cake? Would it still work well? How long would I need to bake for if so? Looks delicious can´t wait to try!!
This cake was perfect. Light, flavorful and loved by all of us. I followed the recipe as written. I cannot wait to make it again!
Lovely simple cake! Came out perfect ❤️
This was perfect in every way! Light, summery fresh, unique flavor, balanced sweetness and leaves you wanting more. Thank you so much for sharing this delicious treat!! It’s going to become my house summer cake and the cake I make for friends and neighbors.
I’m new to baking with peaches. Did you peel the peach skin prior to dicing?
Not sure what went wrong, but I baked my cake for longer than suggested and it’s still raw in the middle 🙁 I followed all of the directions exactly.
Can this be made eggless with a flax egg?
Absolutely love this recipe! We ate it with vanilla ice cream and it was a wonderful summer treat.
Loved this recipe! Easy to make, delicious! I had both fresh picked blueberries and peaches and it was the best. Instead of just sugar I added cinnamon to the sugar and sprinkled on top! Perfection
Baked this today with fresh peaches I had on hand. It tastes wonderful. Not overly sweet yet very fruity.
The cake is very good. The flavor is good, but I decided to add a tsp of almond flavoring.
So excited to try this tonight!!! Could u use frozen peaches if I don’t have fresh ones hand? I processed fresh peaches last week and cut them into the size shown, I add them to scones frozen; I have fresh blueberries but wondered about the peaches being frozen or if you had any tips for that? Thank you 😊
