Easy Peach Coffee Cake is the perfect dessert! Fresh or frozen peaches in a delightfully moist and flavorful coffee cake, fit for any occasion.
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.
When peaches are in season I try to use fresh, firm, sweet peaches but otherwise I always have some frozen, sliced peaches in my freezer to make this or any other peach recipe I am in the mood to make!
This Easy Peach Coffee Cake is great served with coffee if company is just stopping by or as a dessert after dinner. I am usually asked for the recipe and I am sure you will be too.

Instructions
PEACHES
- In a bowl combine peaches, sugar, and salt.
- Leave the bowl of peaches on your counter, at room temperature, until peaches release their juice, around 30 minutes.

TOPPING
- In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add melted butter until clumps form and then set aside.
CAKE
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare and grease, with cooking spray or butter, a 9 inch spring form pan.
- In another bowl, using a whisk, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl combine sour cream, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, almond extract, and reserved peach juice. Whisk until totally blended.
- Now, add flour mixture to sour cream mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over mix. The batter will be thick.
- Add peach preserves to your batter and again, stir until incorporated. Do not over mix. It is expected that some chunks of the peach preserves will be noticeable.
- Pour your batter into your spring form pan and spread the batter, as evenly as possible.
- Arrange your sliced peaches in a circle, all over top of the batter, starting at the outer edge, overlapping your peaches a little, as required, to form a circular or spiral pattern or another pattern of your choosing.
- Sprinkle your topping all over top of the peaches.
- Bake until topping is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with only a few crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Don't forget to rotate your pan halfway through baking.
- Place your pan on to a wire rack so the cake can cool completely, about 2 hours.
