I love peaches so I found this cake great! Next time I will drain the peaches a little bit better though. To me the icing was a little to sweet, so I did just like my grandma did,I warmed the icing a little bit.Then I drizzled it on the cake!It turned out great!My mom loved the taste of it.I can hardly wait to the fresh peaches come out this year so that I can make it with fres ones!

I made this cake with canned peaches. The first time I didn't drain the peaches enough the taste was great but the texture was a little too moist at the bottom. The second time the entire cake came out great. The cake taste wonderful. I sold it at a bake sale and people kept coming back for repeats. One person at the bake sale asked to marry the baker and I was told that a different person asked could he please meet the cook. I guess it was their way of saying they enjoyed the cake. This cake taste absolutely wonderful.
