Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake
This is a delicious sour cream coffee cake, topped with a velvety cream cheese mousse and sweet fragrant peaches.
Peaches are plentiful this time of year and I love enjoying local fruits when they are in season. Nothing beats fresh tree-ripened fruits. The flavor and natural sweetness is just heavenly.
Peaches and cream naturally go together, especially in this recipe. I took a traditional sour cream coffee cake, topped it with a silky smooth and tangy cream cheese mousse, and baked it with some fresh sliced peaches on top. The aroma of this cake is of vanilla and fresh peaches. It’s almost like perfume when it comes out of the oven.
The cake is soft and moist, but firm enough to hold the cream and fruit on top. It is wonderful served with coffee or tea. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or for an after-dinner dessert. It’s easy to make and easy to serve, which makes it excellent for a large gatherings. The taste of this dessert is rich, creamy and bursting with fruit flavor. Be sure to make this recipe very soon while peaches are at their best!

My friends and I all decided to hangout and have coffee together. I was in charge of bringing dessert and I decided to bake this. We all loved it and how perfectly it went with our coffee! Thank you!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you and your friends enjoyed it:)
The peaches have been amazing this year. Your cake is just gorgeous. A bit of coffee and I am a happy girl!
Thanks Julie, hugs:)
Looks amazing!
Thank you and nice to meet you:)
Hi Lily!
That. Looks. Amazing. Wish I had one for my morning coffee.
Thanks Dave and enjoy the rest of the summer, hugs:)
Hi there, I’d like to make this today but just wondering, is the sugar in the topping regular sugar or powdered? Thanks!
Hi Whitney, it is regular sugar. Thank you for your question and enjoy:)
Excellent, thanks! I will return to tell you how it is 🙂
This is the type of cake I find so comforting. It sounds just perfect!
thanks Fida xx
So beautifully fresh and seasonal. I do have one question though…. how did you manage to get the entire cake out of the cake pan? I’d have thought you would have cut the squares in the baking pan itself, but I see you have it on a wooden board. Just curious, perhaps you had parchment paper underneath and just lifted it? Gorgeous!
Thanks Loretta, I actually cut the cake in half, lifted out each piece with a wide spatula and placed them close together on the cutting board. You can’t see the seam in the photos because it’s faded in the background.
This looks amazing – I absolutely love the colours!
Thanks Ginger xx

Yum, this looks amazing! It is smart how you have spread the cream cheese without going all the way to the edge of the cake to prevent it from browning. I like the colors and presentation! Lovely, lily!
