Ingredients

Crumble Topping

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp table salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Cake

  • 1 1/2 cup (7 1/2 oz) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp table salt
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened but still cool
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups diced peaches, 1/2 inch dice

Instructions

  • Adjust oven rack to the lower middle position. Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Butter a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. Dust pan with flour, shaking out the excess.

Make the Topping

  • In the bowl of a food processor, process flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined, a few short pulses.
  • Add butter and process until mixture resembles wet sand, about 20 1-second pulses.
  • Refrigerate until needed.

Make the Cake

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer with a flat beater, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light, about 3 minutes.
  • Switch the mixer to medium low and add the orange zest and vanilla.
  • Then add the eggs, one at a time, until well mixed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. The mixture will look 'curdled' at this point.
  • Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture. Mix until it is nearly combined, but you still have a few streaks of flour. Shut off the mixture and give the batter a few swift strokes with the spatula to finish mixing.
  • Add the peaches and fold them in.

Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing it to the edges. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter, breaking up the clumps with your fingers.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with some crumbs attached. You don't want the cake to be too dry.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes and then serve.

Notes

  • Topping: If you like a more rustic looking crumb topping, just mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl and rub in the butter with your fingers.
  • Lining the Pan: For ease of removing the cake from the pan, line the bottom of the pan with a parchment round.
