Yum! I halved the recipe and made jumbo muffins using sliced peaches and walnut halves. The directions are spot on and easy to follow. We all agreed that we would omit the cinnamon and reduce the amount of peach syrup next time. We served this with vanilla ice cream. :)

Excellent cake Syd!! This was very easy to put together and 2 cans of peach halves fit perfectly. I used pecan halves for in between the peaches and I had some leftover chopped pecans that I put around the edges. This is a keeper! Thanks so much for posting!!

This was very good. It made what would have been an ordinary yellow cake special.
