Happy August 1st! August represents the start of “feast month” for us, a month we celebrate a birthday exactly every 7 days for a month straight: starting with Oliver, then Emil, then Andrew, and finally Milo. So I wanted to kick off the month with a feast month recipe! This dessert (or breakfast, if you’re like us) is the perfect summer treat. It boasts juicy ripe peaches and raspberries bursting with tart and sweet flavors which pair perfectly with soft cake which caramelizes on the top… add fresh whipped cream if you’d like, but trust me- it doesn’t need it.
Raspberry & Peach Cobbler (makes two loaves & serves 6)
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
- 2 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- juice from one lemon
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
Preheat oven to 375. Butter two loaf pans. In a large bowl, toss the berries and peaches with the lemon juice and 3 Tbsp sugar and set aside. In another large bowl, beat together butter and 1 cup sugar until well blended. Add egg and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder, then add to butter mixture, alternating with milk until a thick batter forms (do not over-beat).
Turn about 3/4 of the mixture into the two loaf pans. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the fruit mixture on top of the batter. Dollop the remaining batter on top of the fruit:
Bake for about 45 minutes (or a little longer, but watch that it doesn’t dry out) until fruit is bubbly and top is golden brown. Serve warm! 
Enjoy!
I’ve been thinking of you all week after reading about your latest scare at the pond. I’m glad you’ve not locked the kids in the house and pulled down the shades for the rest of the summer. Your skills in wrangling far surpass mine by being able to watch all 3 including that sneaky little one. So what if once in a while he goes for a swim? No, really, I’m proud of your presence of mind and your mama bear instincts. And wish I could give you another big hug.
It seems as I was thinking of you I was channelling your menu items as I made your kale caesar salad, sausage, kale and bean soup, and peach blackberry pie!
thanks for this yummy recipe! i’ll be trying this tonight with some freshly purchased peaches. i’ve been a blog follower for a while now, i’m also the wife of an academic and we have 3 kids too (7, 5, 2.5) so i know it can be hard to work around the hub’s schedule. 🙂 you’re doing great, hang in there!
Yay! I found the recipe. (I think we ate the one on the left.)
