  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Peach Topping:

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Streusel Topping:

  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Topping: Peel and slice peaches into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss peaches with 1/4 cup brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Arrange peach slices over the batter. If making streusel, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, pecans, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle streusel over peaches. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Let cool before slicing and serving.

Notes
