About The Recipe
Whew! It’s good to be back.
If you hadn’t noticed, my mom and I decided to take a month long break from posting. Sometimes, we all just need a little bit of a break, you know? On the plus size, we did get a lot of things done with our house! We created ourselves a patio area, we’ve gotten out and about, seen more of where we live, and really enjoyed our time off.
But now, we’re ready to jump back in!
And what better way to start back than with this delicious peach cobbler coffee cake!
The inspiration behind this cake was definitely all the fresh peaches starting to come in at the grocery stores! We even have some starting to come into our local farmer’s market. My mom and I couldn’t be more excited.
For me, there is nothing better than biting into a fresh peach on a hot summer’s day!
Oh, well… except for maybe baking with them.
And this cake kind of like the best celebration of summer, you know? You get lovely fresh peach flavors in every bite, a sweet and delicious cake that you can eat for breakfast, and it looks great. Especially when you serve it with freshly sliced peaches and maybe a bit of vanilla glaze (or even a drizzle of honey!).

You can actually use either one for this recipe! We used store-bought peach preserves for the filling, but you can just as easily use homemade as well.

How To Store
The best way to store this cake is in the fridge! It’s a very moist cake and will spoil much faster at room temperature. You could also store this cake sliced or whole in the freezer to keep it even longer! It reheats almost just as good as the day you baked it.
Expert Tips
- Allow time for the eggs, butter, and buttermilk to come to room temperature. The cake mixes better this way!
- The streusel topping makes more than you’ll need for this cake, but it does freeze well.
- Check the expiration dates on your baking powder and baking soda!
- The cake batter is very thick. It might be a little trick to spread.
- Be sure to slide a knife around the edges of the cake after it’s baked to make sure it doesn’t stick!
