Something about brown sugar and peaches just goes hand-in-hand! That golden sweetness mixed with a juicy peach, and I'm in heaven! Peaches are truly one of my favorite fruits so I had it in my mind that I wanted to create something yummy with peaches to have with coffee or tea or just by itself. My favorite way to have a peach besides just by itself, is either in yogurt with a little bit of granola or a fresh peach crisp! I've shared my special Harvest Peach Crisp Recipe on the blog before but I knew this peach recipe had to have some kind a crumb topping, so the Brown Sugar & Peach Crumb Cake came to mind.
Yum
Yum
I was so excited to make this and wanted to take some to one of our sons when we went to pick up some of his things from college that I didn't have time for the peaches to ripen so I opened a few cans and with the moist cake, brown sugar crumble and vanilla glaze, it was spectacular! I don't like a heavy cake or a lot of cake in fact, so this was just the right amount in conjunction with the crumble and fruit. Crumble Cakes, where have you been all my life?
