Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the sugar-butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Arrange fresh sliced peaches evenly across the top of the batter.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the peaches and batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for the most intense flavor. If peaches aren't in season, frozen peaches work well too—just thaw and pat dry before using.
- Don't overmix the batter! Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender and light.
- For extra moisture, you can brush the top of the cake with a light glaze of honey or add a sprinkle of powdered sugar after baking.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the coffeecake cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to settle and make cutting easier.
- For a more decadent version, consider adding a cream cheese frosting or serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
