What is streusel topping?

Do you know what streusel topping is? It is a crumbly topping or filling made from butter, flour, sugar, and often cinnamon. This time we will leave the cinnamon out, because it doesn’t go well with peaches. So here is how we make a fast peach cake with streusel topping.

How to make peach cake with streusel topping

Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 177 C and grease with butter and flour a large baking pan 20″ x 12″ or glass baking dish of similar dimensions. Wash and cut the peaches in thin slices, about 0.5″, set aside.

In a large bowl, mix the eggs with sugar for about 5 minutes, or until they become creamy. Add canola oil, spoon by spoon. In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder together. Add half of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix well until combined. Then do the same with the other half of the flour mixture.

Pour the batter in the baking sheet and place the peaches slices on the batter.

Streusel topping

Mix all the ingredients together with your hands; flour, sugar and butter. Squeeze the streusel mixture in your hands, breaking into small clumps. Then sprinkle evenly the streusel topping over the peaches.

Bake in the oven 350 F /177 C for 30 -35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Cut into squares 3″ x 3″ and serve.
