Peach Coffee Cake Recipe, homemade peach cake with crumb topping

Get your sweet cravings fixed with this delightful peach coffee cake recipe. I made these during the summer, and I’m planning to make it a family tradition to keep making one. Everyone enjoyed the sweet, fruity, and crisp taste of the peach-flavored cake with the delightful coffee crumb topping.

I’ve made dessert cakes before, and this peach coffee cake is my new favorite. What I enjoyed about this sweet dessert is the taste of the peaches blending with the crisp crumble topping. This peach cake is different from a peach cobbler. They are loosely related to pies with semi-liquid fruit fillings. Unlike cobblers, this peach coffee cake has a cake batter with added flavored crumbs.

The peach crumb cake itself is delicious, but I believe that the majority of the cake’s rich flavor comes from the crumb topping. It’s made from spiced ingredients such as ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, along with brown and white sugar. This delicious combination gives it a sweet and subtle spice flavor that I enjoyed.

Add this crumbled mix onto the peach slices, and you’ll get that extra layer of fruity flavors. I used fresh sliced peaches for this recipe so that it’s ripe, juicy, and sweet. You can use frozen or canned peaches if it’s more convenient for you. I believe that they’re all equally delicious when baked.

Another wonderful addition you can make for this peach coffee cake is the sweet vanilla icing glaze. I made half of my batch with glaze, and the other half without any. It’s safe to say that I enjoyed both desserts. That’s why I noted it as an optional variation for this recipe. You can choose to enjoy the fruity flavors of the peach coffee cake, or make it even sweeter and appetizing with the vanilla icing glaze.
