Fresh Peach Cake with Cinnamon and Pecans

by Jamie

There are many, very important reasons for you to make this cake. Here are a few in no particular order.

  • Peaches are in season, and gosh are they glorious, or what!
  • It’s very easy to prepare.
  • I bet you have most of the ingredients on hand!
  • It tastes like fall, with toasted pecans and cinnamon adorning the top.
  • It’s good man. Like, lock me in a closet with a bowl full kind of good.
  • The cake is soft and moist.
  • It goes well with Vanilla Ice Cream or fresh whipped cream.
  • You could serve it as a breakfast cake of wonder.
  • You could eat it cold after lunch.
  • It makes a great Sunday night treat.

Have I talked you into it, yet? I hope so! Grab some fresh peaches and let’s make it, baby. 🙂

Have you tried this recipe with canned peaches? Our peach season is over and I canned almost a dozen quarts, so was wondering if I could drain and use them instead of fresh.

Hi Lori,
I haven’t tried it with canned peaches, but I bet it would work out great. Just be sure and drain them well before hand. Good luck! I would love to hear how it turns out. 🙂

I’m going to make this today for mine and my daughters Birthday’s. It sounds much better than birthday cake!
Looks so yummy!

Hi Jamie! I’m allergic to pecans… How do you think this would be with slivered almonds? Would you toast them or make any adjustments?

My hubby made this for my birthday cake-so yummy with some vanilla ice cream. He used a 29 oz can sliced peaches since fresh isn’t available.
