Easy Peach Coffee Cake with Almonds (Ready in Under 1 Hour!)
This Peach Coffee Cake is an incredibly fluffy cake with a moist crumb. Loaded with peaches and topped with almonds, it's the most perfect coffee cake ever!
First things first, I like to start off by cleanly preparing the peaches.
Rinse and pat the peaches dry using a paper towel. Remove the skins from 2 peaches and dice them into small chunks about ½ of an inch in diameter.
For the remaining 2, slice peaches and place them in a dark place to prevent them from darkening but they’re ok to use even if they darken a little so don’t worry!
How to Make Batter for Peach Coffee Cake
Next, sift all-purpose and almond flour into a medium bowl and add the rest of the dry ingredients to it, i.e., baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
Stir everything together with a whisk until well combined and set aside until ready for use.
Next, preheat the oven to 350 F (189 C).
Now beat eggs and sugar on high until they turn foamy and pale in color. Then reduce mixing speed to low, add vanilla extract, almond extract, and cool melted butter.
Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. Scoop a couple of tablespoons of the flour mixture and add to the bowl of diced peaches. Coat peaches with flour and set aside.
Add the rest of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in 3 additions with the help of a rubber spatula, gently folding in the flour without deflating too many air pockets in the batter. Then, gently fold in the flour-coated peaches.
How to Bake Peach Coffee Cake
Pour the batter into a greased 10-inch round (25 cm) pan. I’ve used a regular cake pan but you can also go for a springform pan instead.
Lay out the sliced peaches in a circular design and sprinkle (raw) almonds.
Bake in the preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for 30 - 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Remove from the baking pan and transfer onto a wire rack for the cake to cool down. Dust it with some confectioners’ sugar before serving. Alternatively, you can also drizzle some homemade glaze on it.
Your delicious Peach Coffee Cake is ready to be served with a delicious cup of coffee!
Notes
I prefer this cake on the warm side, so I will usually enjoy a slice while it's still warm, or reheat a slice in a toaster oven for a minute or so. Also, as this cake is freezer-friendly, you may slice the cooled cake to preferred slice sizes and freeze individual slices for up to a month. Then, simply thaw for a couple of hours before serving, slightly reheat in a toaster oven and voila, you've got an immediate cake that tastes just as fresh!
