This cake base is such a dense and moist cake that is good to use for all kinds of things, like coffee cake, or even with strawberries and whipped cream. Today the recipe will feature it with peaches on top, and a streusel crumb topping.
- 1/2 cup hard margarine or butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups of sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 28 oz can of sliced peaches, drained
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup hard margarine or butter
- Cream margarine, sugar and vanilla.
- Beat in eggs one at a time until light and well mixed.
- Sift together all the dry ingredients.
- Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture alternately with the sour cream, ending with sour cream.
- Pour the batter into a 10 spring form pan or 9-13 if you don't have a spring form.
- Add peaches in a pinwheel design or what ever you choose, it hides under the crumbs anyway.
- Top with the crumbs. If the crumbs get to brown for your liking you can cover them with foil towards the end if needed.
- Bake at 350 for 60 minutes. Test the cake by poking a knife in the center and if the knife comes out clean it is done. The time may have to be adjusted if using a 9x13 pan.
- Enjoy warm with some whipped cream or ice cream or at room temperature.
