Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or oil; dust it with flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until smooth, but do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in diced peaches and blueberries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a twist, swap peaches and blueberries for other seasonal fruits. Add lemon or orange zest for extra flavor. Top with cream cheese frosting or powdered sugar for sweetness.
