FRESNO, Calif. -- The season for farmers markets is now here, and one tasty fruit you can find right now are boysenberries.

Cake:

  • 1 stick plus 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened, divided
  • cup plus 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar, divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cups all-purpose flour, plus a bit more for dusting pan
  • tsp. baking powder
  • tsp. baking soda
  • tsp. salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • pound diced or sliced, frozen peaches
  • 1 cup Boysenberries, rinsed well and patted dry

Topping:

  • cup sugar
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • tsp. cinnamon
  • tsp. nutmeg
  • cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup roasted pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 10-inch cake pan with cooking spray, and lightly dust with flour.
  2. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, cream 1 stick of the butter and cup of the light brown sugar on high speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Into a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine. Add dry ingredients in three stages into the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Gently fold the sour cream into the batter, then transfer to the prepared cake pan and set aside.
  4. Melt the remaining tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch saut pan over medium heat. Add the peaches and the remaining 2 Tbsp. of brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches begin to lose some of their moisture, usually 3-4 minutes. Add the blueberries and cook for an additional 2 minutes.Remove from the heat and transfer to a shallow heatproof bowl or plate and set aside to cool. Once cooled, spread evenly over the cake batter.
  5. To make the topping, place all topping ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend well. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit on the top of the coffee cake batter. Bake in the oven until golden brown and risen, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving. Makes 8-10 servings.

Enjoy!!!
