Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or 2%)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 2 medium peaches)
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing fruit)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese until mostly smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
- Mix in sugar and melted butter until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Toss peaches and blueberries with 1 tablespoon flour and gently fold into batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese creates a smoother cake texture.
- Toss fruit in flour to prevent sinking.
- Use fresh fruit for best results, or pat canned fruit dry before adding.
- Store refrigerated due to dairy and fresh fruit content.
- Allow cake to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
