    Have a cup of coffee with the peach Kuchen

    You will most commonly find fruit Kuchën in any German bakery. Kaffee and Kuchen (coffee and cake) are ingrained in the German culture and also are a huge part of Sunday afternoons in Germany. You will enjoy this Kuchen immensely when accompanied by a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee!

    One of the most popular versions of peach kuchens always include streuselkuchen, and here we use toasted blanched and slivered almonds to make the streusel extra crunchy.

    In this peach Kuchen recipe, the streusel is sweet, rich and crunchy thanks to the simple combination of almonds, flour, sugar and butter – the streusel just melts when you bite into it, yet the crunch from the almonds makes the bite unforgettable!

    Can I use canned peaches to make a Kuchen?

    You can certainly use canned peaches instead of the fresh ones, just make sure that they are drained of any liquid and use 1.5 cups of canned peaches.

    Can I cook my peaches instead of using fresh?

    You can also cook your fresh peaches instead. To do that, bring the medium saucepan with peach filling ingredients to medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

    The liquid will begin to thicken and become translucent. Gently boil for 1 to 2 minutes—until the juices are clear and thick. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the almond extract. Cool completely before using. It is best to make this the day before.

    What kind of pan to use to make peach Kuchen?

    Make sure to use 9 inch spring form pan in order to easily release the cake after it is done.

    Prepare the batter according to the recipe instructions and then spread the batter in the prepared 9 inch spring form pan.German Peach Kuchen Cake with Almond Streusel

    Spread the Peach Filling evenly over the batter. DO not use the peach juices as this will make the batter too runny.

    Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 to 45 minutes.

    Because we used plenty of baking powder here, the cake batter will rise quite a bit over the peaches and the streusel will also become incorporated into the cake batter.

    If you like a flatter Kuchen, reduce baking powder to 1.5 teaspoons.
