I have always had a soft spot for peaches. I love them roasted, fresh and baked into a delicious crumb cake like this one. Enjoy!

Ingredients

    For the Crumb Crust & topping

    • 2 ½ cups flour
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 2 tsp. baking powder
    • Pinch of salt
    • 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp. butter, cold
    • 1 egg

    For the Peach Filling

    • 2 ½ cups peaches, peeled/ sliced and halved
    • 1 ½ Tbsp. sugar

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour an 8-inch cake pan. A spring form pan is recommended.

    2. In a medium bowl, mix together peaches and sugar; set aside.

    3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add butter using a pastry blender or fork to combine and form a crumbly mixture. Add egg and continue to mix only until still crumbly.

    4. Add approximately 2/3 of the crumbly mixture to the cake pan, spoon peach mixture on top, and sprinkle with the remaining crumby mixture.

    5. Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Let cool. Serve with vanilla ice cream if you like, and enjoy!
