Peach Coffee Cake


Good evening bloggers! We have a special dessert for all of you tonight. I love coffee, but many of you may not. This cake is the perfect company to those delightful times when you do want coffee. If you don't drink coffee, this cake still pairs well with tea if you like that too. Well, enough chatter. Let's get baking!
