Peach Very Berry Cake

This cake is more fruit than cake, and that's OK. Simple to whip together and great for breakfast with a hot brew, or dessert.
2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
4 cups fresh berries (I mixed black, blue and raspberries)

1 stick butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry ingredients:
1-1/2 cup cake flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder

1-2 Tbsp coarse or granulated sugar for topping

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix together the butter and sugar in an electric mixer.
Add the eggs, yogurt and vanilla and blend well.

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Slowly add them to the wet ingredients in the mixer, and mix only enough to just combine. Now gently fold in the fruit.
Butter a 10 to 11-inch cake pan and pour the fruit batter into the pie pan.
Top with coarse or granulated sugar.Bake for about 45 minutes, until well browned and cake is cooked through.

Makes one 10-inch cake.

Cook's Note:  You can use whatever fruit you like.  Just adjust the sugar to match the sweetness of the fruit you add.  Here i used mixed berries and sweet fresh peaches.
