🍑 🍑 🍑
Hurry! Peach season is almost over. 🍑 I adore peach season and it goes by way too fast! So I make the most of it. I made peach pie. I made peach ice cream. I made peach protein shakes. I sliced them and ate them on my cereal. I ate them by all by themselves. Yum! I enjoyed the white flesh peaches as well as the yellow flesh peaches. I have to admit I didn't try those little squished ones that are sort of ugly. Maybe next time.
For this recipe, I found beautiful peaches 🍑 at my grocery store and put them in a paper bag to "mature." Two days later...perfect. Then I decided I had to make a peach coffee cake. I think by now you all must know how much I like a sweet treat when I'm writing.
This cake is really easy to make. I used gluten-free items, but you can swap out the gluten-free flour with regular flour and omit the xanthan gum, and voila.
FRESH PEACHES & GREEK YOGURT COFFEE CAKE
(Gluten-free*)
Filling:
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 peaches, peeled and sliced
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cake:
2/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon gluten-free
vanilla
2 eggs, large
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
2 cups gluten-free flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 tablespoon whey flour
Topping:
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare 9 x 9 baking pan. You can either grease it or line it with parchment
paper.
Mix together the filling
ingredients and set aside. (One time I didn’t mix the filling and layered these
in when directed.)
For the batter: Mix melted butter and sugar and vanilla. Add eggs and beat on low. Still beating on low, add yogurt and cream
cheese and vinegar. Then add gluten-free
flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and whey flour until thoroughly combined.
Spoon half of the batter
into a greased 9” square pan. Layer all
of the filling on top of that. Spread the rest of the batter over the filling.
You might need to wet your fingers to spread it evenly.
Sprinkle with the topping.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until
toothpick when inserted comes out clean.
Let rest 20 minutes. When cool, remove the cake from the pan.
*If you’d like to make this
using regular flour, switch out the flour and remove the xanthan gum. The
vanilla can be regular, too.

My mother loved cherries. Ate them by the bags. ~ Daryl
DeleteI love the cover of the new book! I am looking forward to reading it. Peaches are my favorite summer fruit. To me, it is not summer until the peaches are on the trees! I grew up having peach trees and my daddy and grandma were always eating them in some form. Just love them in everything, even salsa! Thank you for this recipe and the giveaway.

DeleteTami, I like the little watermelons. They're the perfect size. And seedless. ~ Daryl
DeleteWhat a wonderful cover! I love it when the Christmas stories start coming out. I always thought strawberries were my favorite but this year the peaches have been wonderful. This looks like a great recipe, I need to try it before summer is over. Thanks for the giveaway.

Sally, thanks so much. Remember you could use frozen peaches if it's too late in the season. ~ Daryl
DeleteFresh summer fruit is wonderful. We have the good fortune to have bought a house with multiple mango trees. The different varieties are ready to eat at different times, so we can have mangoes from June through late August.
ReplyDeletelibbydodd at comcast dot net
Libby, how lovely. My grandkids adore mangos. ~ Daryl
DeleteNo favorite. I love watermelon, strawberries, and peaches. Mangos are yummy. Right now we're picking satsumas off our tree and eating those. I'm thinking maybe a sorbet?
