Take breakfast to the next level with this Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake recipe, perfectly paired with a vanilla latte!
One of the best things about getting older and moving through life is the people you meet and the relationships you form. Making new friends when you get a new job or neighbors becoming friends as the years pass in a house you now call a home. Or bonding with your grandmother as a grown adult over vanilla lattes and Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake.
Or those other relationships that help you grow as a person. Learning to trust as a first-time parent and leaving your precious babe with a sitter. Or growing stronger and more tolerable as you work with a boss you don’t quite see eye to eye with.
Yes, as I’ve moved through life, I’ve been able to better recognize people who help lift me up and others that haven’t been there. And I truly treasure that core group of individuals that make me laugh, are there when I cry and especially those that help you when you move.
So, a few times a month, we get together some of the people I hold near and dear to my heart. I whip up a huge breakfast spread- eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, some sort of breakfast sweet (pancakes, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls), and coffee (always coffee)- and we all sit down together, whether on a Sunday morning or a weeknight that calls for breakfast for dinner, and we talk about our life.
Not only do I love this opportunity to connect with friends and family, I love that they excitedly ask each week what special treat I’ve made; and when I present my delicious concoction, that feeling of joy and happiness I get when their eyes light up, well, that’s priceless.
In addition to sitting down to eat breakfast together, often, during the summer months, we will move out to the porch, after the table is cleared and the dishes are done and continue visiting and sipping on our coffee as we enjoy the cooler morning air.
Many of my friends and family like their coffee black, but I totally have to have some flavor and cream. In fact, I prefer those fancy coffee house drinks, but that’s not always convenient or affordable.
I’ve been making lattes at home for a few months now, and I like that not only does it turn my everyday cup of coffee at home into a flavorful, sweet, frothy latte in just three easy steps without any fancy equipment, it is super affordable and convenient! So I can have that “fancy coffee-house” drink in the comfort of home.
Inspired by my favorite latte flavor, vanilla, and the fresh, juicy summer peaches (one of my favorite summer fruits!) slowly creeping into the store, for our recent breakfast meet up with my in-laws, I created this Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake for our sweet breakfast treat.
This coffee cake recipe has ripe peaches, a surprise cream cheese filling and a crunchy streusel topping. And while it’s totally fine to eat it all on its own, it tastes way better when paired with an easy three step vanilla latte. Just sayin’!
How do you like your coffee and what is your favorite breakfast treat? Learn how easy it is to make a latte at home with three easy steps and then pair it with my fresh Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake, for a perfect summer brunch!

This came across my feed when I was looking for something to do with all the cherries from my tree. I didn’t have any yogurt, so I substituted sour cream. It came out fabulous! Will make it again with cherries, and again when the peaches come in.
