Peach Coffee Cake with Vanilla Glaze - light and fluffy Greek yogurt cake baked with lots of peaches on top (mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg), and topped with creamy vanilla glaze. Easy coffee cake made in a springform baking pan. One of the best peach coffee cakes you'll ever taste!
I made this cake using the springform baking pan - it's perfect for a coffee cake (and no, there is no coffee in this cake, but this cake does taste great with a cup of coffee which is why it's called coffee cake). Springform cakes are so easy to make, and I've made many of them, such as this Blueberry Greek Yogurt Cake or this Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake.
The peach filling, Greek yogurt cake batter, and vanilla glaze make this cake really special:
- The peach filling of the cake is so delicious: it's made by mixing together fresh peaches, butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and some flour.
- Greek yogurt cake batter produces a very light and fluffy cake texture.
- The vanilla glaze makes this cake super creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Pour it over the still warm cake for best results.
How to make peach coffee cake
Start by making the Greek yogurt based cake batter (use full fat Greek yogurt for richer cake texture):
Pour the cake batter into the springform baking pan. Top the cake batter with 4 or 5 sliced peaches, mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Peaches mixed with all those spices taste so good, even without the cake. I kept restraining myself from eating too many of them.
Bake the cake at 350 F in the preheated oven on the middle rack for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cake looks like this (yes, all the peaches you just put on top of the cake will sink perfectly into the middle):
Top the cake with the creamy vanilla glaze (while the cake is still warm):
Peach Coffee Cake with Vanilla Glaze
Ingredients
Peach Filling:
- 4 peaches diced
- 2 oz butter melted (4 tablespoons of butter)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons flour
Greek yogurt Cake:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 oz butter softened (4 tablespoons of butter)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup Greek yogurt full fat
Vanilla Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 4-5 teaspoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Use 9x3 springform pan or 9 inch round cake pan. Line the bottom of a 9x3-inch springform pan (or 9 inch round cake pan) with parchment paper. Grease the side of the pan with butter or cooking spray.
Peach filling:
- In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and the flour until well combined.
Greek yogurt Cake:
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, together into a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar, and 2 eggs until very light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt and continue beating until very creamy and light in color, for about 1 more minute.
- Keeping the mixer speed low, mix in the flour mix until combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the cake batter to the springform pan. Top the batter with the peach mixture.
- Bake at 350 F on the middle rack until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean in the center, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your oven.
- When the cake is done baking, let it cool (still in the baking pan) on a wire rack. After cake has cooled for about 30 minutes, release the cake from the springform pan.
Vanilla Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine softened butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream milk - mix until creamy. Add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of heavy cream to get the desired consistency for the glaze (thick but spreadable).
- Drizzle the vanilla glaze over still warm cake.

Can this be made with canned peaches? Looks delicious. Thanks!
My peaches did not sink, and my center was custard like. It was not light and fluffy at all, and I baked it for 1 hr 10 minutes. Not sure what I did wrong.
Mine didn’t sink either ♀️
Do you recommend serving it warm?
Of course, this cake will taste great served warm. But you can also serve it at room temperature.
Can you use frozen peaches? The peach truck from Georgia came through and I got a box. No way I could sue them all. I peeled, and froze. I’m hoping I can bake with them!
I have not made this recipe with frozen peaches. But, if you can thaw frozen peaches and then use them.
I used mostly frozen peaches and one fresh peach. The recipe turned out great, lots of compliments. I’m going to try it with apples next.
Thank you, Natalie! So glad you liked this recipe! Thanks for sharing that you've used frozen peaches, and the recipe turned out great.
Can you use regular whole milk yogurt instead of Greek?
What temperature? How long?
Yes, you can use a regular whole milk yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Bake it at the same temperature for the same period of time - at 350 F for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
This sounds amazing! I have a funny inquiry though, do you think that if I skipped the vanilla glaze & put a crumb cake crumble topping on it instead that it would be good?
Either way, I think it would be yummy!
The recipe worked well, but it was incredibly sweet. I would make again, but cut the sugar in the peach mix by half.
Hello, this cake must be really delicious! I can not wait to prepare myself .
A doubt ..... heavy cream: teaspoons or tablespoons?
Thank you!
Made the cake and it sunk in the middle when cool. We ate it anyway, and it was delicious, but what did I do wrong?
This looks delicious! Do you think it would freeze well??
I cooked it at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. It turned out great.
Hi, what oven temperature do you use to bake this cake? I do not see that listed in the instructions. Thank you.
I was searching for the same thing? Will google similar receipts I guess.
What should the oven temperature be?
It was delicious! Thank you
This is fabulous. I hope you bring it over to Food on Friday. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
