  1. I made this last year and oranges were in season. It was great and everyone loved it. I didn't change a thing. I can't wait till opened come back in season cause I'm gonna freeze a couple of these. ????
     
  2. I gave this recipe 4 stars. My family thought this was very good tasting cake. I have to agree with the other reviewers this is a very dense cake but that's how I know a homemade cake from a boxed once. I followed the recipe as written except I used 1 cup Splenda sugar substitute and 2 cups Splenda granular in place of the sugar. My cake only took 60-65 minutes to be completely baked. I checked on when it really smelled the best while baking and does it smell great while baking. I frosted my cake with Recipe #387629 but I don't think this needed a frosting just confectioners' would be fine. The copy of this recipe I found along time ago is slightly different. The recipe calls for 2 cups sugar, 3 cups fresh or frozen peaches (if frozen have peaches thawed and drained), and confectioner's sugar (for dusting). Bake time is different it says to bake 55-65 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before inverting onto plate. After cooling dust with confectioner's sugar. The recipes says it serves 12-14. Tips From Our Test Kitchen: Top with a light lemon glaze. Thanks for posting a great tasting cake. Christine (internetnut)
     
  3. I haven't made this for a while and it is about time that I do. It is known as "Famous Peach Pound Cake" in this house. I, like Evelyn, up the baking soda to 1/2 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (but I do use 3 cups of sugar) to the dry ingredients. I find that the cake bakes in about 75 minutes in my oven. I, also, get about 12 to 14 servings. Very dense, delicious cake! Thanks for posting! Alan
     
  4. I made this for my boss (a judge) when we found out he had no opposition for the upcoming election. The cake was very good but very dense and did not raise much. I had some really good peaches from the local orchard and the peach taste really came through. I think next time I'll up the soda and add some baking powder.
     
  5. This cake was wonderful, with a rich, dense taste and texture. I've made it as is, and also with a combination of chopped nectarines and blueberries.

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more. ******* I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps. I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard. <IMG SRC="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/126104/PuterCat.jpg"> This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off. <IMG SRC="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/126104/RugRat.jpg"> Beau works a long week. He's relaxing finally, after a beer. <IMG SRC="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/126104/StickUp.jpg">mnhj BTW, "mnhj" means "I just walked across our keyboard once again and left you a present." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews. 5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here. 4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests. 3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again 2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions 1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!) <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg">
