  1. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

  2. Incorporate 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter (softened) until the mixture comes together and forms small clumps.

  3. Set aside.

Prepare the Peach Filling

The peach filling is the star of this coffee cake recipe. It brings natural sweetness, tanginess, and juiciness to the cake. Here’s how to prepare it:

A recipe is a guide, not an unbreakable rule. While this peach coffee cake recipe is delicious as-is, there are countless ways to change it up and make it your own. To help inspire creativity in the kitchen, here are some substitutions and variations you can try:

– Swap out the fresh peaches with canned peaches or other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or apricots for a different flavor profile.

– If you prefer a denser, more bread-like cake, reduce the baking powder and baking soda by half a teaspoon each.

Once you have baked your delicious peach coffee cake, there are a few tips to keep in mind for storing and reheating it. Let the cake cool completely before storing it. You can wrap the cake tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. The cake should be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

If you want to make this coffee cake in advance and save time, prepare the streusel and slice the peaches ahead of time. Keep them separately in a resealable bag until ready to use. The batter can also be made ahead of time but refrigerate it only for a maximum of 24 hours.

Reheating this coffee cake brings out its flavors and makes it extra moist. To reheat, simply pop a slice of cake onto a microwave-safe plate and heat for 15-30 seconds,depending on the power rating of your microwave oven.

This recipe allows for the inclusion of canned or fresh peaches, so you can opt for whichever option is most convenient for you depending on what you have on hand. Additionally, using sour cream as an ingredient keeps the coffee cake moist and fresh-tasting, even when reheated.

So, whether you’re hosting brunch or serving a tasty dessert during a family dinner, this peach coffee cake is undeniably perfect with coffee or tea anytime!

When it comes to making the perfect peach coffee cake, there are a few tips that can make all the difference. Here are some tips to ensure that your cake comes out moist and delicious every time:

1. Use Fresh Peaches: Fresh peaches not only taste better but they give your coffee cake a distinct flavor. Make sure your peaches are ripe and juicy for optimal sweetness.

2. Don’t Overmix: Overmixing your batter can lead to a dense and dry cake. Mix until just combined and then stop.

3. Properly Measure Your Ingredients: Accurately measuring your ingredients is essential for baking success. Use a kitchen scale or measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate measurements.

4. Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Room temperature ingredients mix together more easily than cold ones, leading to a smoother batter and evenly baked cake.

5. Don’t Overbake: Overbaking your coffee cake can dry it out quickly, leading to a less enjoyable texture. Start checking for doneness around the 30-minute mark and use a toothpick to check if it’s fully cooked.

6. Let Your Cake Rest Before Serving: After removing the coffee cake from the oven, let it cool down before serving. This allows the moisture to be re-absorbed into the cake, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
