Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in chilled butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  7. Assemble the Cake: Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with half of the sliced peaches, followed by the cream cheese filling. Gently spread remaining cake batter over the filling. Arrange remaining peach slices on top. Sprinkle evenly with streusel topping.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the streusel topping is golden brown.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Useful Tips:

  • Ensure peaches are ripe but firm for better texture in the cake.
  • For a healthier option, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the cake batter.
  • Experiment with different spices in the streusel topping, such as nutmeg or ginger, for added flavor complexity.
  • Serve the cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
