Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cut in 1/4 cup of cold unsalted butter until resembling coarse crumbs.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  4. Cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar on medium speed for about 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 2 room temperature eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in 2 cups of chopped peaches gently to avoid breaking them up too much.
  8. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15–20 minutes before slicing.
