Peach Cake is loaded with peaches, baked to a tender and moist crumb, then drenched with a sweet warm milk mixture and sprinkled with a crumble topping. This is an absolute must-try for anyone who loves peaches or is simply craving a sweet dessert!
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper, including up the sides, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
To a small bowl, add eggs, vanilla, and oil. Stir until well combined.
Fold the peaches into the batter until coated.
Pour the batter into the lined pan and top with the reserved peaches. Bake for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
While the cake is baking, make the crumble and the topping.
Crumble
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, flour, confectioners' sugar, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Topping
In the last few minutes of baking, heat the milk, butter, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter and sugar have fully dissolved.
Assembly
Take the cake out of the oven. Insert a skewer into the top, making between 25-30 spaced holes all the way to the bottom.
Pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure it fills the holes and covers the top.
Top the cake with the crumble.
Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes to allow it to absorb the topping. The interior will have a custard-like texture.
Remove the springform and parchment paper, and place the cake on a plate. Cut and serve!
Notes
*If preferred, you can bake the flour on a sheet pan for 10 minutes at 350°F before assembling the crumble.
