Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Coat an 8x8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.
Step 3 -In a small bowl, add 1/2 cup of the flour, the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and whisk to combine.
Step 4 -Add 4 tablespoons of the cold butter to the flour mixture and using your clean fingertips or a fork, rub the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly, forming a streusel.
Step 5 -Place the streusel mixture in the refrigerator.
Step 6 -In a medium bowl, add the remaining flour, the baking powder, the remaining salt, and the remaining cinnamon and whisk to combine.

Step 8 -Add the egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the vanilla to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
Step 9 -Add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, alternating between the two and adding about 1/3 of each at a time, and beat on low after each addition until combined. Make sure to start and end with the flour mixture and be careful not to overmix.
Step 10 -Add the peaches to the cake batter and gently stir to combine.
Step 11 -Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
Step 12 -Top the cake batter evenly with the streusel mixture.
