Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Fresh Peaches: I used fresh peaches in this recipe. Choosing a good peach doesn’t have to be hard! Make certain to sniff it and see if you can notice a sweet smell coming from the peach. If you do, this is a good sign that it’s ripe. Also, your peach should have a little firmness to it and a little squishiness. You don’t want it to be too hard to too soft.
- You can also use canned (drained), or even thawed frozen peaches.
- Milk and Sour Cream: For the best results use full-fat sour cream and whole milk.
- Butter: Use softened, unsalted butter for both the cake batter and the crumb topping.
- Variations: If you don’t like peaches you could use apples, blueberries, or even pumpkin. A sprinkle of walnuts, or pecans would also be wonderful.
