Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (115 g), softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk (120 ml) (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 2 medium fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced (or thawed and drained frozen/canned peaches)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60 g) for streusel
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar (70 g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp cold unsalted butter (55 g), cut into small cubes for streusel
  • 4 oz cream cheese (115 g), softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract for glaze
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (15–30 ml) for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly flour it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix each addition just until incorporated.
  6. Gently fold diced peaches into the batter with a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle streusel topping liberally over the cake.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until glaze is pourable.
  12. Drizzle cream cheese glaze over the cooled cake. Slice and serve.

Notes

Keep butter cold when making streusel for a crumbly texture. Gently fold peaches to avoid releasing too much juice. Let cake cool completely before glazing to prevent glaze from melting. If peaches are very juicy, pat dry before folding in. Cover cake loosely with foil if streusel browns too quickly.
