Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ingredients for the streusel and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together cake ingredients, then whisk wet ingredients in a separate bowl and combine.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients without overmixing.
  5. Spread batter in the springform pan, top with peach slices, and sprinkle streusel over it.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden, and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool for at least 1 hour before removing from the pan.
