This book has delicious recipes based on orchard goodies. I have made a variety of recipes from this book, and each one has been delicious and prepared many times over the years. Today, my husband brought home peaches from a local produce stand that smelled amazing as soon as he brought them in to the house.
This recipe called for adding the peaches to the top of the cake, but I mixed them into the recipe and baked them inside the cake. I made up the glaze by adding a couple of Tbsp of melted butter to confectioners’ sugar, 1/4 tsp of maple extract, 1/4 tsp of caramel extract, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. I toasted 1/4 cup of pecans, chopped them, and added them to the top of the cake after glazing it, along with chopped peaches.
This cake is delicious without a glaze. My husband was curious what it would taste like with glaze. He loves it. I prefer the cake in the morning with my coffee without glaze, as I try to stay away from sugar as much as possible.
