Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
Streusel Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange half of the sliced peaches over the batter.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping: combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the peaches.
- Pour the remaining batter over the streusel. Arrange the remaining peaches on top and sprinkle with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm peaches.
- You can substitute frozen peaches (thawed and drained) if fresh peaches are not in season.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
