When it comes to baking, the technique is just as crucial as the ingredients used. One vital aspect of baking this Peach Blackberry Coffee Cake is the process of folding in the fruits. It is essential to handle the batter gently and avoid overmixing. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake, as it incorporates too much air and activates the gluten in the flour. Instead, use a spatula to fold the diced peaches and blackberries into the batter. Aim to combine them until they are just incorporated, allowing the fruits to maintain their shape and providing bursts of flavor with every bite.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup buttermilk

1 cup fresh peaches, diced

1 cup fresh blackberries

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ cup brown sugar for topping

2 tbsp oatmeal for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

          Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.

            Fold in Fruits: Gently fold in the diced peaches and blackberries, being careful not to overmix.

              Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. If using oatmeal, add it to this mixture for extra crunch.

                Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the brown sugar topping evenly over the batter.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it as baking times can vary.

                    Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your delicious Peach Blackberry Coffee Cake with your morning coffee or as a delightful treat!
