Coffee cake
- 195 g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 113 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
- 50 g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 180 g (3/4 cup) sour cream, at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to hang over the sides.
- For the peach filling: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil. Let the mixture boil for about 1 minute, then remove from the heat and transfer to a heat-proof dish to cool.
- For the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix to combine. Place in the refrigerator.
- For the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. Then add the vanilla and sour cream and mix.
- Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed just until combined.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spread the peach filling evenly over the batter and sprinkle half of the streusel on top. Carefully spread the remaining batter over the topping.
- Sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture evenly on top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan set on a wire rack.
