Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 3/4 cup granular sugar
  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or unflavored coconut oil)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup peaches (peeled and diced)

Crumble Topping

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoon butter (melted)

Glaze

  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoon milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray an 8×8 inch baking dish or pan with non-stick baking spray and set it aside.
  2. Cream Wet Ingredients: Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the sugar, vegetable oil, egg, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  4. Mix Batters: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, a few spoonfuls at a time, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The batter will be thick but smooth.
  5. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold the peeled and diced peaches into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without breaking the fruit.
  6. Spread Batter: Evenly spread the peach batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Prepare Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, light brown sugar, and cinnamon using a fork. Add the melted butter and mix until you achieve a gravel-like, crumbly texture.
  8. Top Cake with Crumble: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the surface of the batter in the baking dish.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 33 to 35 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean and free of crumbs.
  10. Cool Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes to set.
  11. Prepare Glaze: While the cake cools, mix the powdered sugar and milk until you create a slightly thick glaze.
  12. Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled coffee cake and allow it to set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with sour cream or buttermilk for a different tangy taste.
  • Make sure to spray the baking dish well to prevent sticking.
  • The crumble topping can be made ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Check the cake a few minutes before the end of baking to avoid overcooking and drying out the cake.
  • The glaze can be adjusted for thickness by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
