Peach Crumb Cake
You’ll love this easy peach crumb cake. Semi-homemade yellow cake, peach slices, buttery crumble and a simple powdered sugar glaze.
Who loves crumb topping? Crumbs on top of cake are a weakness of mine. And if fruit is included? I’m in trouble.
If you’re looking for an easy breakfast cake for a spring shower, family gathering or just a warm spring Saturday morning, give this easy peach crumb cake a try. It starts with a box cake mix, but the fruit, crumbs and glaze put it over the top!
Which brand of cake mix is best?
Duncan Hines is the brand that we often pick up. We’ve not done a side-by-side cake taste-testing, but we’ve really never had any issues with any of the major brands.
For this recipe you won’t use the ingredients on the back of the box…only use what is listed in the ingredient list below. This addition of pudding, sour cream and vanilla will make the box cake mix taste more like homemade!
Canned Peaches vs Fresh Peaches
You can use fresh peaches or canned peaches in this cake. Obviously fresh peaches are so delicious in baking, but if they are not available, canned peaches will work just fine.
If you use canned peaches, make sure they are well drained. Use thinly sliced peaches so that they don’t add too much moisture to the cake.
Crumb Topping for Cake
This crumb topping calls for equal parts flour and sugar. Combine the flour, sugar, melted butter and cinnamon and mix together until the topping is nice and crumbly. Sprinkle the batter all over the top of your peaches.
This bakes up and gives an AMAZING sugary crunch to every bite. Delicious!
Powdered Sugar Glaze
Wait to mix up the powdered sugar glaze until right before you are ready to drizzle it on the cake. This will prevent a sugar crust from forming on the glaze, making it hard to drizzle.
Mix the powdered sugar and vanilla together, then add 2-3 tbsp of the heavy cream (or milk) and keep adding more until you get a good drizzling consistency.
Drizzle over the top and you’re ready to serve the cake!
