Peach Crumb Cake

Peach Crumb Cake on a Monday? OH YES! This is a very moist yet fluffy cake that’s baked with peaches then topped with a salty crumb topping and a sweet glaze.
Sounds like a pretty good idea right? I love to bake on Saturday mornings. It’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I like to keep Sundays for family/relaxing time but Saturdays, bake, bake, bake!
Also…if you screw something up, it gives you time to fix it ya know?
So this past Saturday I felt like baking something…I was thinking some sort of dessert bread or cake, but wanted it to be small enough so I didn’t have this huge dessert that would go to waste. I also didn’t feel like going to the store…that’s an early morning Sunday thing for me, not Saturday. Soooo…cake or cookies are always a good bet for me since I typically have all the basic ingredients. In this case, I had some canned peaches and it popped in my head. PEACH CRUMB CAKE. The crumb topping is a must on this recipe! It’s makes the cake so beautiful and gives it a slight crunch.
The canned peaches worked really well, too. You could use fresh if you would like as well. I stirred them in some flour so they would stick in the dough and not all fall to the bottom. I used one can, but I can see using 1 1/2 cans for a really peachy cake.
Do it.
I believe this peach crumb cake was completely devoured between Vin, my mom, my sister and me. sooo….you might need to make two if you’re making for more than 4. 🙂 It’s not super sweet and it’s incredibly moist (sorry, no other word but I hate it too), and fluffy at the same time. It’s one of those desserts where you just want one more bite…
Nah, just eat the whole thing.

- Cake
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour for cake, 1/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon for peaches
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk (can use low-fat)
- 1 can diced peaches, drained
- Crumb Topping
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 1/4 plus 1/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Glaze
- 1/2 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 teaspoons water (might need more)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with non-stick baking spray and line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 and 1/4 cups all purpose flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light in color, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, vanilla, and mix, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary.
- Next alternate adding the flour mixture and whole milk, start with flour and end with flour.
- In a small bowl, add the peaches and mix them with 1/8 cup plus 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Fold the peaches into the batter and then pour cake batter into prepared pan.
- To make the crumb topping, mix all the ingredients in a small bowl with a fork or your hands (I usually use my hands). Spread over the top of the cake. Bake for 45-1 hour. Check cake every 30 minutes to make sure the crumb topping is not browning too much. If so, tent piece of aluminum foil over it. Let cake cook completely before adding the glaze.
- To make the glaze, whisk ingredients together until the glaze is runny enough to drizzle but thick enough to hold onto the cake. Enjoy!
