Peaches and Cream Cake

By

Fresh, juicy peaches are tossed with brown sugar and spices to bring out the peaches’ natural sweetness. The cake is more dense than your average cake and almost has the texture of a pastry bread. It has a hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to heighten the flavors found in the filling. The creamy vanilla glaze brings the cream aspect of the favorite peaches and cream combination. Since it’s not overly sweet, this cake makes a great addition to brunch along with being a summery dessert. If you don’t want the sweet glaze for breakfast, feel free to leave it off. However, I strongly recommend that you don’t skip it! The creamy sweetness is a perfect topping to this fresh peach cake.
