Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh or canned peaches, diced
- ¾ cup (180 ml) non-dairy milk (almond, oat, or soy)
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana)
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) melted coconut oil (or neutral oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour (for topping)
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) melted coconut oil (or vegan butter)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven and create a non-stick environment by lightly oiling a baking pan or lining with parchment paper.
- Streusel Creation: Blend dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, ensuring an even distribution of cinnamon and brown sugar, then integrate melted coconut oil with a fork until the mixture achieves a sandy, crumbly texture.
- Batter Composition: Whisk wet ingredients in a large bowl until smooth, then gently fold in dry cake ingredients, maintaining a light and airy consistency while avoiding overmixing.
- Fruit Integration: Carefully fold fresh peach pieces throughout the batter, ensuring uniform distribution for consistent fruity flavor in each slice.
- Assembly and Topping: Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly, and generously cover the surface with the previously crafted streusel mixture.
- Baking Process: Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the cake develops a golden-brown hue and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from oven and allow the coffee cake to cool completely on a wire rack, optionally dusting with powdered sugar or drizzling with a light glaze for enhanced presentation and sweetness.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir cake batter gently to maintain a light, fluffy texture and avoid dense, tough results.
- Peach Distribution Strategy: Coat fresh peach pieces in a light dusting of flour before folding into batter to prevent sinking during baking.
- Streusel Perfection Technique: Ensure crumbly texture by using cold ingredients and mixing with a fork, creating delightful crispy topping.
- Temperature Precision: Use room temperature ingredients for better ingredient integration and more consistent cake rise.
