SUMMER PEACH CAKE.

i have loads of things to share with you, but before i get to it, i’ve got a couple of recipes for you to try as we wrap up the summer.  first is a yummy fresh peach cake.  this recipe came from my grandmama and it is sooo good, and easy to whip up for a tasty dessert.

SUMMER PEACH CAKE

you will need:

3 large peaches, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup + 2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter or margarine, at room temperature
2 large eggs

first, place the peaches, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss.  cream your butter and remaining sugar in a large bowl on high speed until light and fluffy.  beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended.  on low speed, mix in the flour just until blended.  pour the batter into a greased square dish.  arrange the peaches on top.  bake for 50 minutes or until just lightly browned.

this cake was really good, and not overly sweet at all.  i am sure i will make this again.  we had ours warm, topped with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream.  yum!  for variety, use your favorite seasonal fruit. hope you are having a good weekend!  be back soon.  XO.
