Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 13x9-inch baking pan to ensure an easy release after baking.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the peach pie filling and well-drained peaches. Stir gently to mix well and set aside.
3
In another medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, quick oats, and softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside for the topping.
4
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and 1 cup softened butter using an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until creamy. Remember to scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
5
Add the lightly beaten eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the mix and continue beating for an additional 1-2 minutes until well blended.
6
Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture, mixing until smooth, which should take about another 1-2 minutes.
7
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the bottom.
8
Spread the peach filling mixture over the batter, ensuring it's well-distributed.
9
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the peach filling. Avoid spreading the batter out to maintain a layered effect.
10
Sprinkle the topping mixture generously over the entire surface of the cake.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
12
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes.
13
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency for your glaze.
14
Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake for an added touch of sweetness and serve.
