Peach Coffee Cake

Studded with vibrant peaches and topped with a golden-brown streusel, this coffee cake makes the most of seasonal produce. Sour cream and ripe peaches make the cake unbeatably moist. If your peaches are extra juicy, the cake may require a longer bake time. Make sure to check the temperature of your cake to ensure it is done.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with baking spray with flour. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper.
Fold chopped peaches into batter. Spread into prepared pan. Top with sliced peaches; top with streusel.
