Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

½ cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1 cup fresh blackberries

For the Topping:

½ cup brown sugar, packed

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup sliced almonds (optional)

For the Glaze (optional):

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

    Make the Cake Batter:

      - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

        - Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.

          - In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

            - Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.

              - Gently fold in the diced peaches and blackberries, being careful not to break the berries.

                Prepare the Topping:

                  - In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly. If using almonds, fold them into the mixture.

                    Assemble the Cake:

                      - Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the topping mixture over the cake batter.

                        Bake the Cake:

                          - Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the topping to ensure it doesn’t burn; you may need to cover it lightly with foil if it browns too quickly.

                            Prepare the Glaze (Optional):

                              - While the cake is cooling, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional milk if needed.

                                Cool and Serve:

                                  - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. If using the glaze, drizzle it over the cooled cake.

                                    Enjoy:

                                      - Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious Peach Blackberry Coffee Cake with a side of coffee or tea!
