What you’re getting today is my happiest TGIF summer self, high on fresh organic peaches, exploding blueberries, salted butter, some sugar, and whole wheat pastry flour because we’re so fansay like that. Ugh. I can’t even handle us right now. The making of six blueberry peach cakes might have already made it a little obvious that I do indeed 💕 love 💕 this cake – and extra real love points when I bust out the emoji hearts. But, um, do you still want me to tell you how I really feel about it? Sweet. Let’s go.
Cake For Breakfast? Yes.
I’m calling this a breakfast cake because 1) FRUIT, and 2) you can use whole wheat pastry flour, and 3) maybe swap some butter with Greek yogurt to feel really good about yourself. A slice-o-that with a hot mug of fresh coffee in the morning as the sun comes up? and/or, is already up, depending on how irresponsible of an adult you are? Mmmhmmm. Thaz wut I’m talkinbout. The finished blueberry peach cake reminded me of a light bran muffin (weird unless you love bran muffins, which I most definitely do) because of the whole wheat and the depth in the sweetness of the coconut sugar. Plus it’s seriously so pretty with those peaches and blueberries. I’m pretty sure I’ve mastered domestic queendom with this one. This peachy cake has made its way round the neighborhood – to our neighbors with kids, to our single neighbor next door, to our dinner guests a few nights ago, annnnd back around to my mouth again for breakfast times infinity. IT KNOWS NO BOUNDS. I have a container in the fridge right now as I type this, actually, that is making me think that it might be time for a little coffee-and-blueberry-peach-cake break. Cause I need more of those in my life. Doctor’s orders or something. Enjoy the summer weekend! Enjoy the fresh blueberry peach cake! ONWARD FOR CAKE 🏃🏽

4.7 from 16 reviews Swap 4 tablespoons of butter for Greek yogurt to make this a feel-good breakfast cake! Swap other sugars and all purpose flour – should work fine (I’ve made several variations of this recipe with different flours and sugars and they all do fine). I would increase the amount of flour to 1 1/2 cups if using regular all purpose flour. Cover the top as completely as possible with the thin peach slices. The thinner slices sit nicely on top and the more you cover it, the less the batter will rise up in between the fruit pieces.
