Recipe Directions
Preparation of Fruits
To prepare the fruits for the blueberry peach cobbler cake, it is important to wash and rinse the fruit if using fresh fruit. If using frozen fruit, keep it frozen until it is time to add to the cobbler.
If using canned peaches, drain the peaches from the syrup.
Cake Preparation
Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying the bottom with baking spray or by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
After preparing the fruits, make the cake batter. Cream the butter and sugar together until it is pale in color and fluffy. The eggs are then added one at a time and lastly, the vanilla extract is mixed into the mixture.
In the same bowl as the wet ingredients, add the baking powder and salt. Mix the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients just until the ingredients are combined.
The cake batter is then transferred to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly
Topping Preparation
The topping is simple to add to the cake batter. In a single layer, spread the peaches and blueberries evenly over the top of the cake batter.
Gently press the fruit down so that it just nests in the batter and sprinkle additional granulated sugar on top of the fruit.
Baking Process
Once the topping was added, sprinkle the remaining sugar depending on taste evenly over the top of the fruit. The blueberry peach cobbler cake is then baked in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 1 hour 5 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is removed from the oven, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Substitutions
This recipe can be made gluten-free!
- Gluten-Free - Substitute the all-purpose flour for 1 to 1 gluten free flour.
Variations of Blueberry Peach Cobbler Cake
Cobbler Cake is very versatile and is so easy to make with the fruits, spices, and nuts you have on hand.
Raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries, or try nectarines or apricots instead of peaches. You can even make a mixed berry cobbler by adding a little bit of each type of fruit and berries you have to create a unique and flavorful fruit cobbler.
Adding extra spices can alter the flavor of the cake. Adding a little cinnamon or nutmeg will create a warm and cozy flavor to this classic dessert and works well with apple cobblers.
Chopped pecans and walnuts can be added to the cobber while baking to give a nutty flavor and to create texture.

Equipment
Cobbler is a classic and easy dessert to make. Having the right equipment on hand and ready to go will make this recipe even easier.
For this recipe, a 13x9 baking dish is needed to bake the cobbler.
A hand mixer is a great kitchen tool to have because it helps beat the eggs quickly and makes the batter come together quicker in less time.
Mixing bowls with grips is my favorite type of mixing bowl to use when using hand mixers. It prevents the bowl from moving around and it's easy to control.
Serving and Storage Suggestions
When it comes to serving blueberry peach cobbler cake, there are a few ways to enjoy it. Cobbler cake can be served warm or at room temperature and you can serve it with toppings depending on your liking. Here are some serving suggestions to try:
- Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream topping
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor (best with fruits that complement the warm spices)
- Serve with a side of fresh blueberries or sliced peaches for a fruitier experience
Storage Guidelines
If you have leftovers, you can store blueberry peach cobbler cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To ensure the best quality, follow these storage guidelines:
- Let the cake cool to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container
- Place the container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days
- Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving
The peach blueberry cobbler cake can be frozen without any additional toppings.
- Allow the cake cool to room temperature
- Wrap the cake tightly with plastic wrap to prevent moisture from getting in
- Place the wrapped cake in a freezer-safe container or freezer-safe bag
- Freeze for up to 3 months
When you're ready to eat the cobbler, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Top tip
Don't overbeat the cobbler batter. The batter will be very thick when mixing and that's okay! Mix just until all of the ingredients are incorporated and moistened.

The ingredient list says baking powder but the instructions say baking soda. I will make it today using the baking powder. Which is correct?
