Recipe for Fresh Peach Cake

Photo: Kiss the Groom

There are peaches in the cake, peach syrup in the frosting and peaches as decoration.

The cake really relies on the peaches for its flavour. If your peaches aren’t spectacular to start with, you won’t be happy with them once baked (and don’t even think about using canned peaches instead).

Be generous with the peaches used for decoration, the more the merrier.

This recipe for peach cake does make for quite a lot of frosting. You may want to adjust depending on your tastes. And you could also add a little Peach Schnapps to the frosting for a more grown-up version too (just reduce the peach syrup quantity).

This gorgeous fresh Peach Cake is baked with love by Kiss the Groom.
