Put flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt into a food processor and pulse until combined.

Add cold unsalted butter and pulse just a few times, until the pieces of butter are no bigger than a pea.

Add large egg and vanilla extract and pulse several more times, until the dough begins to clump together and form a ball.

Generously butter the inside of a 9 or 9 1/2-inch springform pan. Place a round of parchment paper at the bottom of the pan and butter the top of the parchment as well.

Press the dough evenly onto the bottom of the pan (about 1/4 inch thick) and about 2 inches up the sides of the pan. Put into the refrigerator to chill for at least 10 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375?F and put oven rack in the middle position.

Grind 2 tablespoons sugar with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon instant tapioca in a spice grinder until tapioca is powdery.

Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining sugar. Add peaches, blueberries, and lemon juice and gently toss to coat.

Fill the pastry crust with peach and blueberry filling. Cover loosely with foil.

Bake at 375?F until the filling is bubbly in the center and the crust is golden, about 1 3/4 hours.

Remove cake from oven and set on a rack to cool, uncovered for 20 minutes.

Run a blunt knife around the inside edge of the pan to help release the crust from the sides of the pan. Then carefully remove the side of the pan.

Cool cake to barely warm or room temperature. Cut into thick wedges before serving.
