Assembly
If camping, build a fire in a pit and let it burn down until coals are covered with ash. Rake a layer of coals away to one side of fire. Alternatively, if baking at home, preheat oven to 375°.
Toss peaches, bourbon, salt, 2 Tbsp. demerara sugar, and 2 Tbsp. water on a 20x12" sheet of heavy-duty foil, then fold edges up and over to create a packet; pinch edges closed. Cook on a grate over coals, adding a splash or two of water halfway through if needed, until soft, 20–30 minutes. Let peaches cool slightly; coarsely chop.
Line a Dutch oven with 2 layers of heavy-duty foil; lightly oil foil. Combine egg, buttermilk, and vanilla in a measuring glass or small bowl. Place cake mix in a large bowl and vigorously stir in butter and ¼ cup buttermilk mixture, adding a bit more buttermilk mixture if needed, until a very thick paste forms. Stir in remaining buttermilk mixture, then add blackberries and peaches along with any juices and gently fold in just until mixture looks marbled. Scrape batter into Dutch oven; top with almonds and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. demerara sugar. Cover.
Place Dutch oven directly in coals and set 18 hot briquettes (or scoop about a 1" layer of fine coals) on top of lid. Bake, rotating lid every 10 minutes (for even baking) and replenishing coals as needed, until cake is firm to the touch when gently pressed, 25–30 minutes.
Just before serving, place yogurt in a small bowl and sprinkle remaining 2 Tbsp. demerara sugar over top. Let sit until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Serve warm cake upside down and dolloped with yogurt.
