Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients:

  • 4 oz butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt

Fruits & Topping:

  • 2 fresh peaches, sliced into wedges
  • 6 oz fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9×3-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment too for easy removal.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk or sift together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy (around 2-3 minutes).

4. Combine Wet Ingredients

  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and Greek yogurt, mixing until creamy.

5. Combine Dry & Wet Mixtures

  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing for a tender crumb.

6. Assemble the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern on top, leaving space in between. Fill the spaces with blueberries. Sprinkle the fruit evenly with sugar.

7. Bake

  • Bake for 60 minutes. Start checking doneness at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean. Optional: Add a few peach slices or blueberries on top midway for extra decoration.

8. Cool & Enjoy

  • Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 40 minutes. Then remove from the pan, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Serving Ideas:

  • Pair with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey for a decadent touch.
  • Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Variations:

  • Fruits: Swap peaches for nectarines or pears, and blueberries for raspberries or blackberries.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • Dairy-Free: Use coconut oil for butter and a plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Seasonal Twist: In fall, use apples and cranberries; in winter, try canned peaches and frozen berries.

Pro Tips:

  • Use fresh fruits for the best flavor. If using frozen, toss them in flour to avoid excess moisture.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep the cake fluffy and tender.
  • If making ahead, this cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld beautifully.

Storing & Reheating

  • Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigerator: Keeps fresh for 5 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap slices in plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.

To reheat, microwave slices for 10-15 seconds to regain softness.
