Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Cake Batter:

      - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

        - In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

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

            - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream until just combined.

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

                Make the Streusel Topping:

                  - In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.

                    - Add the cold diced butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly.

                      Assemble the Cake:

                        - Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

                          - Sprinkle the streusel topping over the cake batter.

                            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

                              Prepare the Glaze (Optional):

                                - While the cake is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the thickness of the glaze by adding more milk or sugar as needed.

                                  Cool and Serve:

                                    - Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                                      - Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, slice, and enjoy!
