Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups diced peaches
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. Mix for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- For the streusel topping, combine brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in softened butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the cake batter, covering the entire surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh peaches for the most intense flavor. If using frozen peaches, make sure to thaw and drain them completely to prevent excess moisture.
- Room temperature ingredients are key! Take out your butter, eggs, and milk about 30 minutes before baking to ensure smooth mixing and a better cake texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and light.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the streusel topping.
- Test the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool slightly before cutting to help it set and make slicing easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
