Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup diced peaches
Baking Base:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Cream 1 stick of room temperature butter with 1 cup sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture looks fluffy and pale.
- Add 2 eggs one at a time, thoroughly blending each before adding the next.
- Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup sour cream until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Carefully fold in 1 cup diced peaches and 1 cup blueberries, ensuring even distribution without crushing the fruit.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake at 350°F for 60-70 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother batter mixing and better texture.
- Toss fresh blueberries and peaches in a little flour before adding to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
- Test bread doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center – if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs, the bread is perfectly baked.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and add an extra egg for binding.
