Mrs. Ruth's Peach Jam Coffee Cake

A tender, spiced coffee cake with a jammy peach center and a buttery crumb topping — this is the kind of cake that makes a weekend morning feel like an occasion. Mrs. Ruth's Simply Peach Jam layers in concentrated stone fruit flavor that fresh peaches alone can't deliver. Make it ahead, slice it generously, and serve it with good coffee.

Prep Time: 30 minutes | Cook Time: 45 minutes | Cool Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes | Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek or Icelandic yogurt
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup Mrs. Ruth's Simply Peach Jam
  • 2 small fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
  3. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping.
  4. Stir yogurt, egg, and almond extract into the remaining crumb mixture until the batter is thoroughly combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and press evenly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides.
  6. Spread Mrs. Ruth's Simply Peach Jam in an even layer over the center of the batter.
  7. Top jam with an even layer of sliced fresh peaches.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup crumb topping evenly over the peaches.
  9. Bake until golden brown, 45–50 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.
  10. Cool 20 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges and remove the springform sides.
  11. Cool completely before slicing.

Tips & Notes

  • Room temperature matters: Make sure your egg and yogurt are at room temperature before mixing — it helps the batter come together evenly and bake more uniformly.
  • Don't skip the crumb reserve: That 1 cup of crumb topping is what gives the cake its signature texture contrast. Set it aside before adding the wet ingredients.
  • Jam as the flavor anchor: The Simply Peach Jam concentrates the peach flavor in a way fresh fruit alone can't — don't reduce the amount.
  • Make it ahead: This cake keeps well at room temperature, covered, for up to 2 days. The flavors deepen overnight.
  • Springform tip: Run the knife around the edge while the cake is still slightly warm for the cleanest release.
