Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the raspberries and peaches gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined and smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry preserves and lemon juice over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread a thick layer of cream cheese frosting over the top.
- Arrange fresh raspberries and peach slices on top of the frosting.
- Drizzle the raspberry glaze over the fruit and frosting.
