This is my favorite recipe. It’s quick, easy and delicious. I’ve made it with both canned or fresh peaches

Recipe Ingredients

  • ½ cup margarine
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 (29 ounce) can sliced peaches, drained
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture. Spread dough with hands over the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of prepared springform pan. Arrange peach slices in a spoke pattern over the dough. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

    Kuchen has been a treat in my family for years and this is the first I've tried my hand at making it. I'm a somewhat beginning baker at 22 but I really enjoy it. My aunt gave me her recipe but because I didn't have shortening or cream on hand I went with this one. - Read more ...

    Updated on 09/03/11. I LOVE this recipe! I have also made this with other fruit: Granny Smith apples tasted great, but I wasn't happy with the appearance & texture of sliced apples. The crust baked faster than the apple slices. Next time, I will chop them and might zap them in the microwave before adding - Read more ...

    BEST PEACH CAKE EVER!! Upon eating this, my Dad said;"You NEED to bake another one. Right now, like 'I'll-go-to-the-store-and-buy-you-more-peaches' right now!" I made this with fresh peaches and added a crumb topping. My aunt's crumb topping recipe: 3/4 cup of white sugar 3/4 cup of white flour 1/2 cup butter or margarine Crumble this up - Read more ...

    I've made this twice now and it always turns out perfectly. I used two fresh peaches and sprinkled some frozen blueberries in...the colors looked so pretty together! I also sprinked some streusel on top...1TBS butter, 2 TBS Flour and 1 TBS sugar. Work together by hand, make more as desired...makes a perfect crispy topping. Thanks - Read more ...

    I always use canned peaches with the juice drained. I sprinkle with only a little suguar & cinnamon before baking. The dough is pretty sticky and spreads thin in the springform pan but I find it rises when it's baking -- but not too deep. I'm going to try plums this summer (maybe stew then - Read more ...

    I made 1 plum used 4 plums sliced and 1 apple used 2 apples sliced. I made in 2 foil lined 8 inch square pan for easy removal. Used Splenda and 1/2 margarine and 1/2 applesauce. Had to add a bit of milk because the batter was too dry reduced cooking time by 5 minutes - Read more ...

    Awesome I made a spiral pattern with my peaches it tasted great. My only complaint is the way I cooked it. Because when it was done the peaches were stringy... still good though. _

    Lovely! I added some almond essence to the base and it turned out just great. Definetely will make again (even my peach-hating hubby loved it!). Thanks.

    The recipe says margarine and then later says butter. I used butter and while it was difficult to spread it was excellent. I have made it twice since once with canned pears and 1/2 the cinnamon . It is a wonderful and handy recipe .

    Wonderful recipe, especially with fresh, ripe peaches. Would use almond flavoring instead of vanilla next time and sprinkle nutmeg as well as cinnamon on top. A rustic looking dessert rather then elegant. Small quibble, if you use fresh peaches, HOW MUCH??? I ended up doing two peach spiral layers. Also, my sides came up slightly - Read more ...
