Yield Makes 2 cakes (about 30 squares)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm whole milk
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 large egg
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for bowl and dishes
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/8 teaspoons (a 1/4-ounce envelope) instant yeast
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
12 peaches, each cut into 1-inch wedges
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine water, milk, salt, egg, 4 tablespoons butter, and 1/2 cup sugar in a mixer bowl. Sprinkle yeast over mixture, and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add flour, beating until sticky dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until a ball forms, 3 to 5 minutes. Place in a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Butter two 9-by-13-inch glass baking dishes. Divide dough in half, and stretch 1 portion to cover 1 dish. Repeat with remaining dough and dish. Toss peach slices with lemon juice. Arrange peaches on top of dough (leaving juices in bowl), overlapping. Mix cinnamon and remaining 1 cup sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons butter over peaches, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Let dough rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake cakes in upper third of oven, rotating halfway through, until a tester inserted in the centers of the cakes comes out clean (bottom crusts will be golden brown), 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in pans on wire racks. Cut each cake into 15 squares, and serve.

This cake is way too complicated. I don't have time for all these steps.

The cake didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cake was a little dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

This cake is a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to peaches, but I was still able to enjoy this cake. I just left the peaches out.

This cake is so easy to make. I love that I don't have to cream together the butter and sugar.

I'm not a big fan of peaches, but I loved this cake. The peaches were perfectly ripe and juicy, and the cake was so moist.

This cake is so moist and flavorful. I can't believe it's made with whole wheat flour.

This peach cake was a hit! It was so moist and flavorful, and the peaches were perfectly ripe and juicy. I loved the crumb topping, too. It added a nice crunch to the cake.
