Peach Crumb Cake is a soft and delicious cake layered with fresh peaches and baked with a sweet cinnamon crumb topping. It makes a delicious brunch cake or serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Peaches! Hands down my favorite fruit of summer. We are lucky enough to live near a beautiful orchard where we pick them fresh, but since they’re not ready for picking yet, I recently bought a flat from Costco. They were delicious! We enjoyed most of them plain, some of them with vanilla ice cream, and the last few I saved for this yummy Peach Crumb Cake!
Once I pick 20 lbs worth at the orchard I’ll be making more of my favorite peach recipes, including:
- Canned Peaches (hooray for enjoying peaches all year long!)
- Peach Pie
- Peach Crisp
- Peach Freezer Jam
- Fresh Peach Pie
- Peach, Basil, Mozzarella Flatbread
A simple homemade cake batter, topped with fresh peach slices and a cinnamon crumb topping. Baked through and the top will get a delicious golden crisp to it.
This yummy cakes blurs the lines between brunch food and dessert. It works great as both! The bottom layer of cake has just the right touch of sweetness and it’s the perfect light texture.
We adapted this Peach Crumb Cake from Cooking Classy. It’s best served warm, and the vanilla glaze on top is completely optional–I think it makes the cake look pretty–but the flavor wont be effected if you leave it out.

This recipe was excellent! Made in a 9×13 (brownie) pan. Used at least 6 peaches. Would next time use overhanging parchment to ease extracting the cake from the pan.
