- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Topping: Peel and slice peaches into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss peaches with 1/4 cup brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Make the Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange peach slices over the batter. If making streusel, combine streusel ingredients and sprinkle over peaches.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
