Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon.
  3. Cream together the cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then gradually mix in the milk until fully combined.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Prepare the peaches by washing and slicing them into thin wedges, then drain on paper towels.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, layer the peaches, then pour the remaining batter on top.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients to create a crumbly mixture; sprinkle over the batter.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

To prevent sogginess, drain peach slices on paper towels before adding.
