1. Step 1

   To start your delicious peach cake, grab a mixing bowl and combine the white sugar with the active dry yeast.

   Next, pour in the warm milk, melted butter, and a beaten egg.

3. Step 3

   Whisk everything together until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a lovely mixture.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to add the all-purpose flour.

5. Step 5

   Do this gradually, stirring in a little at a time until the dough is mostly moistened.

6. Step 6

   If you find the dough is too sticky, don’t hesitate to sprinkle in a bit more flour until it feels just right.

7. Step 7

   Once you have a soft, slightly sticky dough, add in the kosher salt and mix until everything is well combined.

8. Step 8

   Cover your bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1.

   5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

10. Step 10

    While your dough is rising, let’s prepare the peach topping.

11. Step 11

    Take a 9x13-inch baking dish and grease it with half a tablespoon of butter.

12. Step 12

    Slice your peaches in half along the seam, then cut them into quarters and finally into eighths.

13. Step 13

    Once your dough has risen beautifully, transfer it to the prepared baking dish.

14. Step 14

    Use a spatula to spread the dough evenly into the corners of the dish, ensuring every bite will be delightful.

15. Step 15

    Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes, until it puffs up nicely.

16. Step 16

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you wait.

17. Step 17

    When the dough is ready, arrange the peach slices on top, gently pressing them in to nestle them into the dough.

    Drizzle 2.

    5 tablespoons of melted butter over the peaches and sprinkle with Demerara sugar for that perfect crunch.

20. Step 20

    Now, it’s time to bake! Place your dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 40 to 45 minutes.

21. Step 21

    You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the peaches) comes out clean.

22. Step 22

    While your cake is baking, mix apricot preserves with a splash of hot water in a small bowl until it’s smooth and brushable.

23. Step 23

    Once your cake is out of the oven and has cooled slightly, brush that lovely glaze over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.

    Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before slicing into it.
