I use any excuse to make this Easy Peach Coffee Cake as I love a great coffee cake and I LOVE peaches! Together they are truly something special.
The crumble on this coffee cake is exceptional on its own but with the peaches, it is just to die for, not literally of course! I am just so excited to share this recipe with you and I can’t stress how wonderful this cake is.
