Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake
Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake. A marriage of great seasonal flavours! A summer into fall recipe taking advantage of seasonal fruits when they are both available.
Our friend Barb Greene had been out blueberry picking, getting those first ripe, wild Newfoundland berries of the season. She was kind enough to drop some of her foraged bounty off at our house for us to enjoy.
I placed them on the counter next to the last few juicy Ontario peaches in a 5 pound basket I had bought a day or so earlier.
I can't tell you how many peaches go through this house in August. We just love them. Looking at both seasonal fruits on the counter I thought of marrying them together into one cake.
A marriage of delicious natural flavours in this Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake.
I then laughed to myself because so many Newfoundlanders married folks from southern Ontario, in the 60's and 70's. Particularly, when so many young people from here moved to the industrial centers of southern Ontario.
Newfoundland blueberries and Ontario peaches seemed a natural combination, so I decided to break out an old standby sour cream coffee cake recipe and top it with a combination of peaches and blueberries.
The result was this absolutely delectable Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake.
We loved it here and I brought some to a marketing meeting at Breakwater Books for my second cookbook, where they too gave a big thumbs up to the recipe.
It was so good, I think this Ontario Newfoundland "wedding cake" may just become a seasonal tradition around here as summer wanes into fall.

Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake
Blueberry Peach Sour Cream Cake. A marriage of great seasonal flavors! A summer into fall recipe taking advantage of seasonal fruits when they are both available.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 ⅓ cups sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup blueberries
- 2 or 3 peaches, unpeeled, sliced. Enough to cover the surface of the cake.
- 3 tablespoon or 4 turbinado sugar ), or demerara or brown sugar (optional
Instructions
- Grease and flour a 9 or 10 inch spring form pan and line the bottom with parchment paper if you like, for easier release. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and baking powder and set aside.
- Cream together the butter and sugar well. Add the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Fold in the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream. I do this on low speed in my mixer.
- Always begin and end with the dry ingredients when adding them alternately. I generally add the dry ingredients in 3 portions and the sour cream in 2 portions.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared spring form pan. Arrange the peach slices so that they cover the surface and then sprinkle on the blueberries between the peach slices.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the cake and bake for approximately 1 hour. Deeper pans may take an additional 10 minutes or more. When a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean it is done. Avoid piercing the fruit when doing the toothpick test. That can tend to clean the toothpick on removal, and may give an inaccurate indication that the cake is done.
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing the sides of the spring form pan and cooling the cake completely on a wire rack. If serving for brunch, I like to serve it warm, after at least a half hour out of the oven.

Can you tell me what kind of flour you used plain or self raising? You don't say on the recipe so am assuming its plain but I don't want to make the cake until I know for certain?
Great recipe by the way, thank you for sharing
Self raising flour is not commonly used in Canada. It is plain flour.
Self rising flour has baking soda and baking powder in it. So if you see a recipe that has baking soda and baking powder then that makes the flour rise.
Turned out Perfect! Was so good
what changes would you make when you use frozen peaches and frozen blueberries..
The baking time is likely the only concern. It will take longer. Just let the toothpick test be your guide to when it is completely baked.
Pinned... another recipe I am going to try for the guests at my B&B!
I made this for the first time today for a house warming gift for our new neighbours. (I have a lot of confidence in the recipes on this site). I made it in a 9" springform pan and it took 90 minutes to bake. But the end result was perfection and I was proud to present it to people I did not know. ! Next time I will try it in a slightly larger pan. Thank you for a simple but elegant dessert recipe.
Sounds wonderful. Have to make it even if I can't get those wonderful Ontario peaches in Alberta.
I just made this but a gluten free version and it turned out amazing! I did about 1 2/3 cup gluten free flour mix and added 1/4 tsp xantham gum. I had to cook it about 1 hour 20 minutes as well. I'll be making this again for our next brunch!
That's great. Do you use your own flour mix or buy a commercial one?
I live in Southwestern Ontario!!! Can't wait for nice ripe Ontario peaches! And I want to make this beautiful cake with some of them! Mmmmmmm.....
I'm excited to try this recipe! I used to live in Argentia, Newfoundland and remember picking wild blackberries.
Just made this cake and it turned out perfect! As another poster had mentioned it took 90 mins to fully cook in a 9” pan!
Just curious on how best to store it! Is it good on the counter in a cake container or should I put it in the fridge?
In hotter weather I'd go for the fridge.
This cake was very, very good. My only addition next time will be vanilla ice cream!
This cake is easy AND delicious! I added some thinly sliced almonds on top with the fruit before baking and it was a huge hit!
Turned out perfect! Was devoured in 3 days!!! It’s a nice dense cake just sweet enough to eat as is with warm cider to sip. I will make again.
Delish! The fruit sank to the bottom during baking so it wasn't as pretty as yours. Maybe it was because the fruit was frozen?
Possibly.
Family eat before cool off, delicious, plenty of peaches here in NY.
A spectacular cake. Was very happy about the delicious result !
