Peach Coffee Cake
Peaches are at the peak of their season right now so it's a great time to take advantage of some more great sales at the grocery store. (I've been talking a lot about taking advantage of sales lately, haven't I?)
Since I'm a lover of coffee cake and of fresh peaches, I thought it might be a good idea to try making a peach coffee cake!
Most of the time I try not to toot my own horn.
This is NOT one of those times. I'm sorry but when it comes to this recipe I will toot and toot and toot my horn.
I'm so proud of how this peach coffee cake turned out so I hope you don't mind! LOL
While you're here, if you enjoy this recipe, you should also check out this delicious Pumpkin Coffee Cake from fellow blogger “Dish ‘n' the Kitchen'!
This cake is fluffy and moist and has an irresistible “peachyness” in all the right ways. A little peach here, a little peach there and some yummy slices placed all along the top.
On top of the slices of peach I sprinkled a combination of brown sugar, butter, peach preserves and a little flour and cinnamon. This creates a nice little crunch on the top of the cake and almost gives the peach slices a candied effect.
My goodness, it's good!
I really enjoy the types of cakes and goodies that come in some of those fancy shmancy coffee shops but it's very rare that I actually visit one since I'm trying to be on the frugal side.
This recipe will give you a whole bunch of yummy treats – 16 squares in fact – and for a mere fraction of what it would cost for 1 serving of a similar cake in a fancy shmancy coffee shop. 🙂
It's honestly just as good as something you would get in one of the more expensive coffee shops. (For me, any shop selling coffee for more than $1 is too much!)
We enjoyed this so much that I'm trying to come up with some more ways to adapt it using other fresh fruits!
I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Im not much a fan of peaches. Im wondering if this could possibly be substituted with oranges or pineapple?
I haven’t tried this with oranges or pineapple but I’m sure you could use them as a substitute. If you try this variation out please let me know how it turns out! I’d love to see the results! 🙂
