Ingredients

For the Loaf

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup diced fresh peaches
  • 3/4 cup fresh raspberries

For the Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to ensure the bread does not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in Fruit: Gently fold the diced peaches and raspberries into the batter, taking care not to crush the berries.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and pourable.
  10. Glaze the Loaf: Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled loaf, allowing it to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Fresh raspberries add the best texture, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt and butter with a vegan margarine.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Wrapping the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and freezing allows storage for up to 3 months.
