This is a favorite! I have made it twice. Once with fresh and once with canned peaches. I make a little more topping than the recipe calls for, because in my opinion you can NEVER have enough topping! I send pieces with DH to work for his friends. They actually ask for it. One had a DREAM that I had forgotten the topping. HA! No chance of that happening. Bet it would be great warm right out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. Great recipe, thanks for posting.

Absolutely wonderful flavor. A cake to enjoy during peach time. Served it at our annual 4th of July celebration and everyone loved it. Nothing needs to be changed.
