Best 2 Peach Streusel Coffee Cake Recipes

PEACH STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Make streusel; in a small bowl mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon, cut in margarine until it resembles crumbs, add pecans if desired. Cover and chill while making the cake.
• Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixer bowl. Add sugar, salt, egg, margarine and 1 1/4 cup of the flour. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl frequently, for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour.
• Drop half of the batter by tablespoonfuls into a greased 8x8x2 or 9x9x2 inches square pan, spreading batter to edges; arrange drained peaches over batter, sprinke half of the streusel over the peaches/batter. Drop the remaining batter by tablespoonfuls into pan evenly, sprinkle with remaining streusel. Cover, let rise in a warm place until double, about an hour.
• Heat oven to 350°, uncover and bake until golden brown, 30 - 35 minutes, cool in pan on wire rack or loosen coffee cake, remove from pan to wire rack and let cool.
• Mix the reserved 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon syrup from the peaches with 1/2 cup powdered sugar into a glaze, drizzle over coffee cake while still warm.

PEACH STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350°F Grease and flour a 9-inch round springform pan or square baking pan or baking dish (see Note).
• To make the streusel, in a bowl, stir together the flour, brown and granulated sugars and cinnamon. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut or rub in the butter until coarse crumbs form. Set aside.
• To make the cake, in a bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed or a wire whisk, beat the egg, melted butter, milk, vanilla and almond extract until creamy, about 1 minute. Add to the flour mixture and beat just until evenly moistened. There should be no lumps or dry spots. Do not overmix.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. If using a springform pan, arrange the peach slices in concentric circles from the pan sides to the center. If using a square pan, arrange the slices in rows. Gently press the slices into the batter. Sprinkle evenly with the streusel.
• Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes. Remove the sides of the springform pan, if using. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges or squares. Makes one 9-inch cake.
• Note: If using a glass baking dish, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
