20 Servings

Ingredients

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cut into pieces and softened

For the Peach Filling:

  • 4 peaches peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup brown sugar divided
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Cake:

  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • ¾ cup sour cream

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each side for easy removal.

Make the Crumble Topping:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Incorporate the butter pieces using a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cook the Peach Filling:

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach slices, ½ cup brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency, about 6–8 minutes. Allow to cool.

Prepare the Cake Batter:

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy, about 4–5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and sour cream. Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, mixing on low speed until combined.

Assemble the Cake:

  1. Spread two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup brown sugar evenly over the batter. Spread the cooled peach filling on top, then cover with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the chilled pecan crumble evenly over the surface.

Bake the Cake:

  1. Bake for 70–80 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. If the topping darkens too quickly, cover with foil after 60 minutes. The cake is done when golden at the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 30–40 minutes before slicing.

Notes

To make this Peach Cobbler Coffee Cake gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour in both the topping and the cake with a certified gluten-free 1:1 baking blend. Ensure the cornstarch, baking powder, and all other ingredients are labeled gluten-free.
