Peaches and Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

What is so distinct about this Peaches and Cream Cheese Coffee Cake is the wonderful cheesecake-like texture! It’s moist and crumbly! This is going to be your favorite coffee cake recipe EVER!

I have made this cake recently with my son for Mother’s Day! He Loves helping me in the kitchen. We had so much Fun assembling the layers. We make breakfast together on the weekends, often. Love it!

This cake fits my criteria for choosing the less amount of calories/carbs (relatively speaking) and still have great taste.

My criteria: under 2 cups of flour, no more than 1 cup of sugar, and under 1/2 cup of butter.

Well….we are almost there with this one. LOL, Sometimes you just have to “splurge”!

“All in Moderation” is my Motto!

WHY DO THEY CALL IT COFFEE CAKE?

Coffee Cake is a term given to foods that are intended to be eaten with coffee or other brunch-type foods.

Imagine the little cakes that you would serve at a tea party or having coffee with a group of friends.

There is generally NO COFFEE in the actual cake! It often refers to a sweet cake, with a drizzled white icing or crumb topping, and is usually eaten with coffee.

You can use other fruit in this recipe but I do love baking with peaches and plums the most!

And since summertime is abundant with fruit, grab a few extra peaches for this coffee cake. You won’t be disappointed!

Then sit down, relax and enjoy a piece of this wonderful Peaches and Cream Cheese Coffee Cake!
