The best cake I've ever had! Perfect for summer –Andrea Williams

What cake reminds you of summer? For me, it’s this one—a sweet twist inspired by the plum cake my mom used to bake every summer, using ripe, sun-warmed plums picked straight from the tree in her backyard. There’s just something about the combination of fresh, seasonal fruit and a rich, flavorful cake that feels so nostalgic, comforting, and perfectly summery.

Variations On Easy Blueberry Cobbler Cake


When you live in Montana, fresh berries and fruit are scarce in the winter. As a result, we have a very short growing season. So, when I make this cake in the fall or winter months, I use frozen peaches.


Once summer comes, fresh fruit is abundant, and I cannot get enough. This cake is excellent with plums, strawberries, apples, or blackberries. If you're lucky and know where the good spots are (in MT we don't share our good berry picking spots), you may be able to add my favorite berry of all... HUCKLEBERRIES! I hope you can feel the love I poured into this recipe with every bite.

Easy Blueberry Peach Cobbler Cake


Ingredients


Cake


3 cups all purpose flour

3 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

2 cups granulated sugar

1 Tbsp lemon zest

2 tsp lemon extract

3 eggs

1 ½ cup heavy cream or half and half 


Filling


2 cups of sliced peaches (fresh or frozen)

1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)


Sugar Topping


1 ½ cup granulated sugar

3 Tbsp flour

¾ cup melted butter slightly cooled 



Instructions 


  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).


  2. Prepare the fruit: Wash and dry your peaches and blueberries. Slice the peaches into thin pieces.


  3. Grease the pan: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.


  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 cups of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Stir until well combined.


  5. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of lemon extract, 3 large eggs, and 1½ cups of heavy cream or half-and-half.


  6. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.


  7. Spread batter in the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.


  8. Layer the fruit: Arrange the peach slices and blueberries evenly over the batter, alternating for a balanced flavor in every bite.


  9. Make the sugar topping: In a separate bowl, mix 1½ cups of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, and ¾ cup of melted, slightly cooled butter. Spoon the mixture in small dollops over the fruit layer.


  10. Bake the cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).


  11. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Peach Cobbler Cake!

Commonly Asked Questions and Tips For The Best Blueberry Peach Cobbler Cake


  1. Serve this cake warm, its best fresh out of the oven! If you do make it ahead of time, slip it back into a 200 degree fahrenheit oven to warm for 10-15 minutes.


  2. Add a heaping scoop of vanilla bean ice cream! The cold vanilla ice cream melting over the top of the hot cake takes it over the edge!


  3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.


  4. Can I make this this cake ahead and freeze it? I wouldn't recommend it. This is one cake that I always make fresh. Part of what makes this cake so delicious it's crusted sugar top. By freezing this cake you lose that texture.


  5. Can I make this cake using a different fruit? Yes! I have made this blueberry cake using strawberries, plums, and raspberries. This cake truly is very versatile. You can also use canned or frozen fruit if you prefer.


  6. Can I make this cake without adding the sugared top? Yes you can but know that without adding the sugared top this changes the texture and flavor of the cake.
