Peach Crumb Cake

Moist and tender sour cream coffee cake with juicy peaches and a crunchy crumbly topping.
YIELD 9 inch cake

Ingredients

Crumbs:

  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons (125 g/4.5 oz) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (100 g/ 3.5 oz) light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g/3 oz) unsalted butter, melted

Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups (210 g/ 7.5 oz) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick/113 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 g/5.3 oz) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) sour cream
  • 4 peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F/175C degrees. Grease a 9-inch round or square pan. Set aside.
  2. To make the crumbs: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix with a fork until the mixture is uniformly moistened and thick crumbs form. Crumble it with your hands to make some big chunks.
  3. To make the cake: In a medium bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until combined. Beat in vanilla extract. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating it with the sour cream in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. Do not overmix.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Arrange the peach slices over the top of the batter in an even layer. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly on top of the peaches, pressing it down gently.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake will be moist because of the peaches, but make sure it's not raw. If the crumbs layer is getting too brown while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil. Let cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Store cake at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
