This Peach Coffee Cake has a sour cream cake base, peach center, and crunchy crumb oatmeal topping. It is a family favorite, and I love to serve it for brunch and holidays. You can use fresh peaches, canned peaches, or even canned peach pie filling.
Are you a big peach fan? My daughter and I love peaches, and we can not wait for them to come in. Spring is finally here, and we are just chomping at the bit to make some spring and summer goodies. This Peach Coffee Cake hit the mark just right. I prefer fresh peaches, but this time around, I could not get them, so I choose the canned peach pie filling. I made this in a spring-form pan, but you make it in a square 9 X 9-inch baking pan as well.
How do you make Peach Coffee Cake?
First, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Next, cream your butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This can take several minutes. Then turn the mixer to low and add your eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Now mix in the sour cream and vanilla. Then blend in the dry ingredients in three intervals.
Now spread half of that mixture in the prepared pan and layer the peach slices on top. Next, drop the remaining dough on top with rounded spoonfuls. Now combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Using a pastry knife, cut in butter until the mixture is crumbly. Finally, sprinkle over the coffee cake and bake.
This delectable Peach Coffee Cake comes together pretty quickly, and the aroma of sweet baking peaches is just amazing. The base dough has sour cream added to it to keep it moist. The crumb oatmeal topping gives the coffee cake just a touch of sweet crunch. Sometimes I shake this up a bit and add a little cinnamon and nutmeg. I can’t wait for flavor-packed fresh peaches to come in, as I prefer them to the canned version. This would make such a nice breakfast for Mother’s Day or for a family brunch.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- Always preheat your oven and load the coffee cake on the center rack in the middle of the oven,
- Feel free to use fresh peaches, canned peaches, or peach pie filling. They are all delicious.
- Soften your butter and bring your eggs to room temperature.
- Cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes between 2-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, vanilla, and flour mixture just until incorporated, as over-beating can produce a tough batter.
- The batter is very thick, so it is easier to work with a spoon sprayed with nonstick spray.
So put this Peach Coffee Cake on your to-try list and make your family a scrumptious homemade treat. They will be singing your praises and asking for seconds.

Well, I made this coffee cake recipe again, but this time using apples. Followed all of the directions, but was a bit distracted when putting it all together. Turns out that I forgot to add the flour having realized this after putting the batter into the pan and topping it with the streusel. I saw the bowl of flour, which made sense why the amount of batter seemed small, and took the ingredients out of the prepared pan and put it back in the bowl, slowly adding the flour and mixed it all together. Baked it and the cake came out DELICIOUS! Good mistake!
Beth Pierce
I love it. Sometimes things work out well after all.

WHat size cake pan (and how long in the oven) should I use if I want to double the recipe?
Beth Pierce
I would use a 9×13 inch pan. Increase oven temp to 350 degrees and cook about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
