- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Using a mixer, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three intervals, mixing until just combined.
- Assemble the Coffee Cake:
- Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared springform pan.
- Arrange the sliced peaches over the batter.
- Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading it carefully over the peaches.
- Prepare the Streusel Topping:
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon.
- Cut in softened butter using a pastry knife or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the cake batter.
- Bake the Coffee Cake:
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the coffee cake to cool slightly on a wire rack before removing the sides of the springform pan.
Notes and Tips
- Preheat your oven before baking and position the cake on the center rack for even baking.
- Feel free to use fresh peaches, canned peaches, or peach pie filling based on availability and preference.
- Ensure that your butter is softened and eggs are at room temperature for best results.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the batter.
- Avoid overmixing the batter once the flour is added to prevent a tough texture.
- The cake batter will be thick, making it easier to spread using a nonstick-sprayed spoon.
