### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Juicy Peach Raspberry Cake

#### 1. **Preheat & Prep**
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Grease and flour an 8- or 9-inch round or square cake pan (or line with parchment paper).

#### 2. **Make the Batter**
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla and yogurt (or sour cream).

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest if using. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until combined.

#### 3. **Add the Fruit**
Gently fold in the peach slices and raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, don’t thaw them beforehand—this helps prevent bleeding too much color into the batter.

#### 4. **Bake**
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Arrange a few extra peach slices or berries on top for a pretty finish. Bake for **35–45 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.

#### 5. **Cool & Serve**
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled—dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
