Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 can (29 ounces) peaches, drained, diced (about 2 ½ cups peaches)

Crumble

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour*
  • cup (42 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • ½ cup (122.5 g) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  • 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.
