Peach Coffee Cake

This Peach Coffee Cake has a sour cream cake base, peach center and crunchy crumb oatmeal topping.  It is a family favorite and I love to serve it for brunch and holidays.  You can use fresh peaches, canned peaches or even canned peach pie filling.

Are you a big peach fan?  My daughter and I love peaches and we can not wait for them to come in.  Spring is finally here and we are just chomping at the bit to make some spring and summer goodies. This Peach Coffee Cake hit the mark just right.  I prefer fresh peaches but this time around I could not get them so I choose the canned peach pie filling.  I made this in a spring-form pan but you make it in a square 9 X 9 inch baking pan as well.

How do you make Peach Coffee Cake?

First whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.  Next cream your butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.  This can take several minutes.  Then turn the mixer to low and add your eggs one a time mixing just until incorporated.  Now mix in the sour cream and vanilla.  Then blend in the flour mixture in three intervals.

Now spread half of that mixture in the prepared pan and layer peaches on top. Next drop the remaining dough on top with rounded spoonfuls.  Now combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats and cinnamon. Using a pastry knife cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Finally sprinkle over coffee cake and bake.

This delectable Peach Coffee Cake comes together pretty quickly and the aroma of sweet baking peaches is just amazing.  The base dough has sour cream added to it to keep it moist.  The crumb oatmeal topping gives the coffee cake just a touch of sweet crunch. Sometimes I shake this up a bit and add a little cinnamon and nutmeg.   I can’t wait for flavor packed fresh peaches to come in as I prefer them to the canned version.  This would make such a nice breakfast for Mother’s Day or for a family brunch.

Helpful tips for making Peach Coffee Cake

• Always preheat your oven and load the coffee cake on the center rack in the middle of the oven,
• Feel free to use fresh peaches, canned peaches or peach pie filling.  They are all delicious.
• Soften your butter and bring your eggs to room temperature.
• Cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  This usually takes between 2-4 minutes.

So put this Peach Coffee Cake on your to try list and make your family a scrumptious homemade treat.  They will be singing your praises and asking for seconds.
