Blackberry Peach Coffee Cake

Blackberry Peach Coffee Cake – I love this time of year when my favorite summer fruits are in season. I grabbed the juiciest peaches and blackberries to make easy cake recipes. This cake recipe reminds me of an old fashioned cake. It is a cross between a coffee cake and an upside-down cake. In summer I love lightly frosted or topped with whip cream vs fully frosted cakes.

To be honest, I am really focusing on lighter recipes lately. Although, I don’t have my grandma’s recipe for the peach cake she made something similar to this. I adapted a white cake recipe adding the fruits of summer to recreate a recipe similar to hers. What are your favorite summer fruits?

Blackberry Peach Coffee Cake

1. This recipe uses two round cake pans.
2. First, make a cake batter.
3. Then add summer fruits.

First I washed the blackberries. Leave most all the blackberries whole. Except for a few you can cut them in half. Do this if your blackberries are really big. 

Then I washed, peeled, and chopped the peaches into bite-size pieces. When the fruit is ready, set to the side.

How to make this coffee cake recipe 

1. Prepare your cake pans. (spray and lightly flour, dump out excess flour)

2. Cover the cake pan with part of your batter.

3. Next, take the peaches along with the blackberries and slip them into the cake batter.

4. Then covered slightly more with a little batter over the top of the fruit. 

This really is a yummy summer cake that is perfect with coffee or iced tea.

Instructions

Prep prior to preparing the cakes

1. First set out the butter, milk and eggs to get to room temp.

3. Prepare your baking pans 8 or 9 inch rounds grease and lightly flour, shaking out excess flour. Set to the side until needed.
4. Rinse fruits. Peel and cut up peaches. (any excess fruit can be used to serve with whip cream when done)

Start to prepare cake mix

1. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
2. Next cream in butter using a pastry cutter (or fork) until crumbly.
3. Then add half of the milk slowly while stirring, then continue adding the balance.
4. When batter is complete pour into prepared pans reserving a approximately a quarter of the batter for top!
5. Evenly add fruit covering pans.
6. Next take the reserved batter and spread over the top.

8. Top with whipped cream topping. I used homemade but, you can use Cool Whip if you like.
9. Topping: Homemade whip cream topping
10. Heavy Whipping Cream
11. Vanilla
12. Powdered Sugar
13. Take a chilled stainless steel bowl and whip the heavy whipping cream until it gets stiff peaks. Do not over beat! Add in vanilla and powered sugar to taste.

Notes

Notes: I used 9 inch cake pans.

1.  Watch bake times. Baking time may vary depending on the juiciness of the fruit and the size / type of baking pans you use. 
2. Bake times often vary depending on altitude and ovens. A good rule of thumb is to check them often towards the end of the bake time. Test with a toothpick or clean butter knife. If it comes out clean (free of batter) the cake is done.
3. My fruits were very fresh and not overly ripened (juicy).

Nutrition information isn’t always accurate.

You will need to grease and flour the pans prior to inserting the cake-batter into the cake pans. Watch the baking time as adding fresh fruits with batter can make cook times vary on cake recipes.

After the cake is done. Let it cool a bit. Then you can go around the edges with a knife and flip cake out onto a cake plate. This is one of those cake recipes you’ll love using your favorite summer fruits in.
