Peach Upside-Down Cake is August. Peach Upside-Down Cake is Peaches. Peach Upside-Down Cake is Blueberries. Peach Upside-Down Cake is Summer.

You may wonder why there are blueberries in this peach upside-down cake. The answer: I put them there. In the highly unlikely event that you aren't aware, peaches and blueberries are good friends. I would argue, best friends. Add summer to the mix and well, you pretty much have a miracle on your hands. This miracle came about on a hot summer day, in August to be more precise.

peach cake with blueberries

I came into the great fortune of some of the biggest, the juiciest, and the most mouthwatering peaches I have ever tasted. The same day, I came into an equal lot of blueberries. Holy summer!

It is not a coincidence that we have put these best friends together, in the same recipe before. A couple of times. Take a look at some of our blueberry and peach dishes that we've featured in the past.

We'll be putting together a few more peach recipes and a few more blueberry recipes, before the last song of summer has been sung. If a few berries end up with the peaches (or vice versa,) do not be surprised. It's my summer. This is my fruit. I'll eat them any way I please. Hope you enjoy! -Dan
