Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup ripe peaches peeled and chopped into small cubes
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh (or frozen, unthawed)
  • 1 tbsp flour to toss blueberries so they don’t sink

Equipment

  • 1 9×5-inch loaf pan – greased and lined with parchment for easy removal
  • 2 Mixing bowls (one for dry ingredients, one for wet)
  • 1 Whisk – to blend dry ingredients
  • 1 Hand mixer or stand mixer – for creaming butter and sugar
  • 1 Spatula – to fold in fruit gently
  • 1 Cooling rack – to cool the loaf evenly

Method
 

  1. Prepare the pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Line with parchment paper, letting some overhang on the sides for easy lifting later.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Add sour cream: Mix in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt). The batter will look slightly thick and creamy.
  6. Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low until just combined. Do not overmix, stop as soon as no flour streaks remain.
  7. Prepare the fruit: Toss blueberries with 1 tbsp flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold the blueberries and chopped peaches into the batter using a spatula.
  8. Fill the pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
  10. Cool: Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift it out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
  11. Serve: Slice thick and serve plain, with butter, or even lightly toasted. Store leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon into the dry ingredients.
  • Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer, don’t thaw, or they may bleed into the batter.
  • This loaf also freezes beautifully: wrap tightly and store for up to 2 months.
  • Try serving a slice with a cup of Pureed Vegetable Soup Recipe for a cozy, balanced brunch.
