The cake itself is whipped up in one bowl. The crumble adds a delicious crunchy topping and paired with the light and fluffy cake it will keep you coming back for more.
One of the standout features of this Peach Crumble Cake is its simplicity. The cake batter comes together effortlessly in just one bowl, saving you time and minimizing cleanup. Unlike many other recipes, this cake doesn’t rely on sour cream or cream cheese, which makes it lighter and lets the peach flavor shine through.
The highlight of this cake is undoubtedly the crumble topping. It adds a satisfying crunch that perfectly complements the light and fluffy cake underneath. Each bite is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that will keep you reaching for just one more slice.
For an even more decadent experience, I recommend serving this cake with a generous helping of custard. The smooth, creamy custard pairs beautifully with the cake, enhancing its flavors and adding a luxurious touch. A top tip to elevate this dessert further is to incorporate a tablespoon of vanilla paste into the batter. This simple addition enhances the overall flavor, making each bite even more irresistible.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt.
