Coffee Cake
- 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 3 fresh peaches (about 1 lb.)
- 2 cups all-purpose soft-wheat flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh Georgia blueberries, divided
Cook butter in a wide heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, 15 minutes or until butter begins to turn dark brown. Immediately remove from heat, and transfer to a shallow bowl. (Butter will contineu to darken if left in skillet.) Cover and freeze until just congealed (about 20 minutes).
Preheat oven to 325°. Peel peaches, and cut each into quarters, discarding pits. Whisk together flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl.
Beat chilled browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar at medium speed with an electric mixture until fluffy (about 1 minute). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and gradually add flour mixture. Beat just until blended. Gently stir in 1 cup blueberries.
Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch springform pan. Arrange peach quarters in a circle on top of batter; place any remaining quarters in center of circle. Top peaches with streusel and remaining 1?2 cup blueberries.
Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 45 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Run a knife around outer edge of pan to loosen cake. Gently remove sides of pan. Cut cake into wedges, and serve.
