Instructions
Prepare and Bake
In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter, pulsing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, incorporate the egg and vanilla until the dough clumps together.
Butter a springform pan, line the bottom with parchment, and press the dough evenly into the base and up the sides. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, mix together the additional sugar, flour, and tapioca. Toss this mixture with the peeled and sliced peaches, blueberries, and lemon juice until the fruit is well coated.
Pour the fruit filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the pan with foil and bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Once baked, let the cake cool for 20 minutes. Carefully release it from the pan and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Optional: Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
