The blueberries and peaches add the perfect touch to this old-fashioned dessert! Wonderful by itself, but even better with a dollop of my Cinnamon Ice Cream!
1/4 cup softened butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 peaches, peeled and sliced (optional)
In a mixer, mix together butter, brown sugar and egg until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add to the mixture; stir just until combined. Add buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Stir until well incorporated. Carefully fold in blueberries.
Carefully spread mixture in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Insert peach slices every couple of inches into batter.
Topping
1/4 cup cold salted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Combine ingredients and sprinkle on top of batter.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
