-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

For the Streusel Topping
-
½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the streusel topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms crumbs. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Arrange half of the sliced peaches over the batter.
-
Spread the remaining batter on top and layer with the remaining peaches.
-
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake.
-
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing and serving
Notes
Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but frozen or canned peaches can also be used.If using canned or frozen peaches, drain them well to prevent excess moisture.Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake soft and tender.For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over the cooled cake.
