Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups diced peaches (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)

Streusel Topping:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8×8 or 9×9-inch square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add in the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set it in the fridge while you prepare the batter so it stays cold and crumbly.
  3. Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Sour Cream: Beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and sour cream (or Greek yogurt).
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until no flour streaks remain.
  7. Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold in your diced peaches using a spatula.
  8. Layer and Top: Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the cold cinnamon streusel topping evenly over the surface.
  9. Bake the Cake: Bake for 40–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool and Glaze (Optional): Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing. If you want to add a glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
