We've had lots of blueberries and peaches in the last week or two. When I was a kid, my mom made a delicious Blueberry Peach Kuchen (a german cake). I searched for a recipe, but couldn't find what I thought I was looking for (and my Mom was away, so I couldn't call and get the recipe from her). I found one for a Peach Blueberry Cake on Epicurious that sounded delicious and got great reviews. We made it and it was fabulous! (I was a little skeptical of how long the recipe listed for a bake time- 1 hour and 45 mins, but it really did need that long!) I made another version yesterday using whole wheat for the crust and adding in cherries. The cherries were great, the whole wheat crust not so much. It was fine... and if I'd had that first I might not have minded, but in comparison to the crust with only all-purpose flour, well... it just didn't compare. All in all, a great summer dessert we highly recommend!

I wouldn't call it a cake—it comes across as more of a torte. But it is FANTASTIC.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! Cake is misleading, but as that's the name of the recipe, I felt I had to go with it.
