Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for peach layer)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for peach layer)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2–3 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, mixing just until combined.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, toss the peach slices with granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
5. Step 5: To make the crumb topping, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.
6. Step 6: Spread the cake batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Layer the coated peaches on top, then sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over everything.
7. Step 7: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Step 8: While the cake cools slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cake before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent the fruit from becoming mushy during baking.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
• Refrigerate the crumb topping before baking for a perfect, buttery crumble.
• Swap peaches for nectarines, apricots, or drained canned peaches as desired.
• Use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version, or try a gluten-free baking mix to make it gluten-free.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the crumb topping for an extra layer of warmth.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months; thaw and warm gently before serving to enjoy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

While fresh peaches yield the best texture, frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well to prevent excess moisture from affecting the cake.

How do I know when the cake is done baking?

The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.

Instructions

1. Prep the Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cake.
2. Make the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix just until combined to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender cake.
3. Create the Peach Layer: Toss the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until they are evenly coated. This adds flavor and sweetness to the fruit layer.
4. Make the Crumb Topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in another bowl. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Place this topping in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the cake to keep the butter firm for a crisp topping.
5. Assemble and Bake: Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Layer the cinnamon-coated peach slices evenly over the batter, then sprinkle the chilled crumb topping over the peaches. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Add the Glaze: Allow the cake to cool slightly. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2–3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake just before serving to add a touch of sweetness and finish.

Notes

• Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy fruit after baking.
• Mix the batter just until combined to prevent a dense cake.
• Chill crumb topping before baking to achieve the perfect crumbly texture.
• Grease or line your pan well to ensure easy cake removal.
• Adjust sugar in the peach layer depending on peach sweetness.
• The cake can be prepared a day in advance to enhance flavors.
