Peach Coffee Cake

Since everyone needs a delicious coffee cake recipe in their recipe box, this peach coffee cake recipe is the perfect one!

This is my Mum's favourite coffee cake recipe, she has it written on a piece of paper along with her recipes collection, I believe that she once found it online and wrote it down, the original recipe calls out for blueberries and the name of the recipe is Janet's blueberry coffee cake. I searched for it, but could not find it. This coffee cake is moist and very delicious. I used peaches instead of blueberries for one simple reason, they don't sell fresh blueberries anywhere here! You can only find the sweetened canned option which I only use as a topping for a cheesecake.

I think I have mentioned this before, but I'm not a fan of coffee, I prefer tea. Good quality tea. My favourite is probably green tea with jasmine, and in my family we drink green tea quite a lot because of all of the health benefits that everyone has been talking about. So I think that this peach coffee cake is great with a cup of tea, or coffee (if you like coffee)! it's simple and is easy to make - just read the directions carefully and you'll end up baking an amazing coffee cake.

If you decide to try this recipe, make sure you don't skip the streusel, it is very necessary! The cake itself has a moist texture and topping it with a generous amount of streusel only makes it perfect.
