  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
Glaze (Optional):
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan.
  2. Prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Make the cake batter:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
    • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
    • Mix in sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Gently fold in diced peaches.
  4. Assemble the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the batter.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool & glaze: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. If using the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
  7. Serve & enjoy! 🍑✨
