Instructions
Prep:
Butter a 9-inch cake pan well, and spray with nonstick spray for added insurance. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃).
Prepare the Peaches:
Rinse the peaches and slice them. In a medium bowl, toss them with 3 tbsp light brown sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Set aside while you make the crumble layer.
Lay the peach slices in two circles in the bottom of the pan, starting from the outside edge. Fill the center with the remaining peach slices.
Make the Crumble Layer:
In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup butter. Stir in the remaining crumble ingredients. If you want extra streusel for topping, make 1.5x the crumble and reserve 1/3 of it. Bake this extra portion on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 350℉ for 10-14 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a small bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter using a hand mixer for about 30 seconds until creamy. Add 3 tbsp vegetable oil and cream together for 1 minute.
Gradually add 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar and beat on high speed for 2 minutes until fluffy.
Add the egg and mix for 45 seconds on medium-high speed. Then add 1/4 cup sour cream and 2 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
Add half of the dry ingredients on low speed. With a few streaks of flour remaining, add the 1/2 cup milk. Finally, add the remaining dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
