As a fourth-generation Southern cook from Middle Georgia, I’ve been around the best peaches in the world all my life. Consequently, I’ve cooked many peach desserts, like our reader-favorite Southern peach cobbler, which millions have loved over the last ten years.

This cake, though, is one of my all-time favorite recipes, and I think you’ll feel the same way. It’s not only easy to make, but it’s also really pretty and colorful. It’s a gorgeous but simple addition to any of your summer cookouts. Southerners love upside-down cakes!

Testing results from peach blueberry cake:

  1. We’ve baked this cake in a cast-iron skillet, a cake pan, and a non-stick skillet. We prefer the cake pan and the cast-iron skillet second.
  2. For best results, use fresh summer peaches and blueberries.

Tips and questions

Storage

This peach blueberry cake will keep on the counter for 1-2 days. If you still have leftovers at that point, I would place it in the refrigerator.

Can I substitute other fruit in the blueberry peach cake?

Yes, you can use other fruit. I would suggest nectarines, plums, or blackberries.

Are there any variations for the topping?

We like making a bourbon or amaretto whipped cream for this cake. Just use my homemade whipped cream recipe and add a spoonful or two of bourbon or amaretto.

Another tip is to toast some pecans and crumble them on top of the cake with the whipped cream when serving.

Can I add other spices to the batter?

Absolutely! While we like to keep this cake pretty simple, the flavors of the fruit would be great with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and or cardamom.
