Description
Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake is a moist summer skillet dessert made with fresh yellow peaches, blueberries, and a tender sour cream crumb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 ounces butter, softened, about 4 tablespoons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 medium fresh yellow peaches, sliced into wedges
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries
- Butter, for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F with the oven rack in the middle position.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 10-inch high-sided cast iron skillet with butter.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and eggs on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, then beat for about 1 more minute until creamy.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the flour mixture just until combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cast iron skillet.
- Arrange the peach wedges over the batter and scatter the blueberries evenly between the peach slices.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cake turns golden and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Halfway through baking, add extra peach slices and blueberries on top for presentation, then continue baking.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the skillet before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a 10-inch high-sided cast iron skillet, a 9×3-inch springform pan, or a high-sided 9-inch round cake pan.
- Measure flour carefully by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients.
- Fresh yellow peaches give the best flavor, but drained canned peaches or thawed frozen peaches also work.
- Sour cream and Greek yogurt can both work in this recipe.
- For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 measure-for-measure gluten-free flour blend.
