Take breakfast to the next level with this Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake recipe, perfectly paired with an easy three step 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. ?
And I feel particularly blessed to have great relationships with my in-laws, as I know not everyone has the opportunity to know or gain a close bond with their in-laws. In fact, I had to laugh when recently I accidentally just referred to my aunt-in-law by just her first name and she immediately corrected me and said that she was my aunt and that I need to call her “Aunt G”.
Over the years we have all grown together and bonding over various things, and I couldn’t image my life without this family. But getting to know my father-in-law did take some time. Not because of personality differences, but because his job requires him to travel a lot.
In an effort to get to know each other and stay close, we try to go visit him a few times a month and I make a big breakfast spread, because that is his favorite meal. This was a fact I loved learning about my father-in-law, his love of coffee and breakfast foods, because if there is one thing I do well it is make good food, especially for those that I love.
So, a few times a month, we get together and 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 my in-laws, I love that I’ve converted my father-in-law to my homemade baked goods (previously he would only eat store bought sweet treats) and that now he excitedly asks each week what special treat I’ve made him; and when I present my delicious concoction, that feeling of joy and happiness I get when his 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.
My father-in-law only likes his 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 convenient or affordable. That is until I discovered International Delight® One Touch Latte™ a while back when making my weekly grocery run to Walmart.
I’ve been using International Delight® One Touch Latte™ 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 (you can get seven lattes out of just one can) and convenient! So I can have that “fancy coffee-house” drink in the comfort of home (or at my in-laws).
Inspired by my favorite International Delight® One Touch 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’!

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.
So glad you liked it! Cherries sound like a delicious substitute for the peaches!
