Peach Blueberry Cake

This Peach Blueberry Cake is THE summer recipe! It combines fresh peaches with sweet blueberries for the ultimate slice of cake. Everything gets mixed together in one bowl, in one step. It seriously doesn't get any easier than this!

This cake is a bit different than others! Instead of a bunch of steps, you just combine everything together at once, mix, pour, and bake! It is so easy.

I used fresh peaches and blueberries in this recipe. This gets placed on top of the cake before baking. I also made a quick 3 ingredient buttery sugar streusel that adds so much flavour.

Ingredients Notes

Full recipe and ingredients are in the recipe card below. Feel free to scroll through this section to view certain key ingredients we’re using!

All-purpose flour – This flour is used for the cake and cannot be substituted for any other.

Blueberries - Make sure to use fresh, not frozen. Frozen berries hold to much liquid.

Eggs – Must be at room temperature before starting your bake.

Oil – I used a flavourless oil. You can use any type of oil, but flavoured ones will slightly change the taste.

Peaches - I used fresh peaches. I sliced them in half, then each half in 5-6 slices. I had roughly 10-12 slices per peach and used 2 peaches total.

Yogurt – Make sure to use a thick yogurt like Greek or kefir. This stabilizes the cake and brings out soo much texture.

Step by step instructions

Here is how to make and bake this peach blueberry cake. You will need a 8 or 9 inch springform pan lined with parchment paper, a large mixing bowl and an electric handheld mixer.

Step 1 – Prep. Grease the pan. For easy removal of the cake, place parchment paper along the entire bottom of the pan. Grease the sides and then set aside. Slice the peaches in halves, then each half into 5-6 slices. I used 2 peaches total.

Step 2 - Make streusel. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, and cold butter until a streusel forms. Set in the fridge while you make the cake batter. 

Step 3 - Mix dry ingredients. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4 – Add ingredients. In a large bowl and in this order, add kefir, dry ingredients, oil, white sugar, vanilla, and eggs.

Step 5 - Mix. Using an electric handheld mixer and on the lowest setting, mix until JUST combined. This batter comes together super quickly so be aware! You can also use a whisk for this, I just recommend an electric handheld mixer.

Step 6 - Transfer. Add the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.

Step 7 - Add toppings. Add the sliced peaches and fresh blueberries. Sprinkle streusel on top evenly.

Step 8 - Bake. Bake the cake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. It took me about 45 minutes total.

Allow the cake to cool completely, then run a knife gently around the edges of the cake before springing it open and slicing. Enjoy!

Expert Baking Tips

Here are a few expert baking tips from my kitchen to yours

• Use a gram scale. I cannot emphasize this enough! It is the most accurate way of measuring your ingredients in the kitchen. This is one of my favourites.
• Use fresh, not frozen. Make sure to use fresh berries and peaches and not frozen! Fruits that are frozen carry a lot more liquid therefore affecting the cake bake.
• Mix until JUST combined. It's crucial this cake batter is mixed until just combined. That's why I suggest using an electric handheld mixer instead of a regular whisk.
• Use a springform pan. This makes removing the cake much easier. You can also bake in an 8x8 pan, but it will be harder to remove the cake!
