You know when you really want to try a new recipe, but you are having people over and you worry if you should stick with tried-and-true rather than risk hope-it-turns-out? Well, that is what led me to trying this cake recipe. My mom always told me not to try a recipe for the first time when having company over, but I’m so thankful I disobeyed on this occasion. This Peaches & Cream Cake recipe was staring at me from the Lucky Leaf Peach Pie Filling can, beckoning me to try it. Try it, I did, and my Life Group sang the Hallelujah Chorus. Okay, they didn’t really sing the Hallelujah Chorus, but men and women gave me thunderous applause and crowned me queen of the kitchen. No, you are right, that didn’t happen either, but they did LOVE the cake and requested I share the recipe, and that is always the kinda response I’m looking for when I make something to share. I think this cake tastes like summertime!
