Peach Cobbler Cake

This cake is great for the indecisive. If you can’t decide between a peach cobbler and a peach coffee cake, make a peach cobbler cake!

The cake uses peach pie filling so you can make it any time of year. No need to wait until peach season (although you’re going to want to make it then, too). With the perfect ratio of juicy peaches to moist spice cake, every bite is better than the last.

How to Make Peach Cobbler Cake

STEP 1. Make the peach cake batter

Grease and flour (or spray with cooking spray) a 13×9 baking dish and set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt on low until blended.

Beat in softened butter until crumbly. Add in eggs, vanilla and milk and beat for several minutes until fluffy and fully combined. Pour batter into prepared baking dish.

Top that batter with peach pie filling.

STEP 2. Make the streusel crumb

Combine the sugar with cinnamon and salt. Mix in melted butter, flour and nutmeg with a large fork until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over peach layer.

Bake cake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 55-60 minutes.

STEP 3. Add the glaze

Whisk the sugar, cinnamon, and milk together until smooth. When cake is removed from oven, pour glaze over warm cake. Let the peach cake cool before slicing and serving!

Tips & Tricks

Serving peach cake: This cake is delicious on its own, especially with a cup of coffee. To serve this as a more decadent dessert, it’s also wonderful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
How to tell when peach coffee cake is done baking: Unlike other cakes, a toothpick inserted into the center won’t come out clean when the cake is done baking, due to the juicy peach layer. The cake is ready to come out of the oven when the streusel topping is evenly golden brown. Check at 55 minutes and if it doesn’t look quite golden, leave it in for up to 5 minutes more.
How long does peach cobbler cake last? The cake will keep for about 5 days at room temperature, if kept covered. When I make it, we tend to eat slices for dessert one day, then breakfast the next. . . so it rarely lasts the full 5 days!
