Peach-Glazed Cake
"After tasting this cake, guests always ask for a second slice...and the recipe," writes Samantha Jones from her kitchen in Morgantown, West Virginia. "Everyone is surprised when they learn this dessert is so easy to make. I often garnish servings with pear slices instead of peaches."12 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min. + cooling
