Start the day off with a slice of this scrumptious Peach Coffee Cake! It has sweet peaches and hints of cinnamon in every bite. The cake is perfectly soft and fluffy with a buttery sugar streusel on top too! There's seriously no better way to start the day.
I am so excited to share this recipe! It is one of my favourites for peach season.
This peach coffee cake has the best crumb. The peaches perfectly sweeten the cake and add an amazing texture too.
It has a 3 ingredient buttery sugar streusel sprinkled on top before baking, which melts and crisps up as it bakes. It is so good!
Step by step instructions
Here is how to make and bake this peach coffee cake. You will need a 9×9 baking pan lined with parchment paper, 3 mixing bowls, a spatula, and a whisk.
Step 1 – Prep. For easy removal of the cake, use parchment paper. Slice the peaches and set aside.
Step 2 - Make streusel. In a medium-sized bowl, add flour, softened butter, and white sugar. Mix with your hands until a streusel forms. Place into the fridge to chill while the cake batter is made.
Step 3 - Mix dry ingredients. In a bowl, add the flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 4 - Whisk fats and sugar. In a large bowl, add the melted butter, oil, and white sugar. Whisk for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5 - Add eggs and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla for another 2 minutes until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl when needed.
Step 6 - Add in sour cream. Whisk in the sour cream.
Step 7 - Add in dry ingredients. Mix in the dry ingredients gently just until no flour streaks appear.
Step 8 - Peaches. Add 1 tbsp of flour on the peaches and evenly coat them in the flour. Then add them into the batter and stir a few times to incorporate.
Step 9 - Layer. Transfer into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Add a couple extra peach slices on top (optional). Then sprinkle the streusel on top.
Step 10 - Bake. Bake the peach cake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
FAQ
How do I store this cake?
This peach coffee cake is best served fresh within the first two days. You may store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Can I use frozen peaches?
Fresh peaches are much more ideal. If you want to use frozen, allow them to thaw. Then drain the liquid, and pat them down dry with a paper towel. Still dust them in 1 tsp of flour before adding them into the batter.
