Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
To prepare the streusel topping, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Allow it to cool before mixing with flour and sugar.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk ricotta, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually integrate the melted butter.
Combine the ricotta mixture with the dry ingredients, folding in the peaches gently without overmixing.
Grease a 9-inch springform pan, add the batter, and top with the streusel mixture.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness. Cool for 30 minutes in the pan before removing the sides.
Prepare the honey glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar, honey, vanilla, and milk to your desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure to use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
You can substitute with other fruits like berries or apples as desired.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
