Ingredients

Cake

  • 8 tbsp Unsalted butter 113.4g
  • 3/4 cups Light brown sugar 150g
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract 4.2g
  • 2 cups Flour 250g
  • 1/2 tsp Salt 3.5g
  • 1 tsp Baking soda 6g
  • 2 tsp Baking powder 9.58g
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon 16.6g
  • 1 cup Whole fat Greek yogurt 245g
  • 1 cup Diced peaches 168g

Crumb Topping

  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter 43g
  • 1/2 cup Light brown sugar 100g
  • 1/2 cup All purpose flour 60g
  • 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon 4.14g

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit and grease your loaf pan.
  • Brown all the butter for the cake and crumb topping (so 11tbsp total). To do this, melt it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook for about 5-8 minutes, until it's got a golden hue and starts to smell a bit nutty. It'll also start to foam up. At this point, remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Once the brown butter has cooled down a bit, add 8 tbsp of it to the bowl of your stand mixer (or whatever large bowl you'll be using for this recipe) and put the rest in the fridge for later. Add 3/4 cups light brown sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Then add your eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon to a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. Then add to the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the Greek yogurt, followed by the peaches, then transfer to your loaf pan.
  • Now make the crumb topping. To do this, add 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 tbsp cinnamon, and the rest of your brown butter to a bowl and mix with clean hands until it forms little crumbles. If it all clumps together, that's fine - just use your hands to crumble it! Pour all of the crumb topping into the loaf pan, making sure to coat all the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the cake and remove it cleanly. Then let cool, slice and enjoy!
