Peach Pecan Sheet Cake

Jump to recipe

I know we are near the end of peach season, but it’s not completely over just yet. I happened to get my hands on a crate of them last weekend from Utah. They were very sweet, and borderline too ripe, so after I enjoyed them for a day or two, it was time to make something with them.

With half of them, I made barbeque sauce. I actually hoped it would be good enough to share in this column, but it was on the bland side and I didn’t love it. So, I decided to try a different peach recipe. And this one was a winner for sure. Kind of a cross between coffee cake and peach pie, it was the consistency of a moist cake. The pecans on top kind of caramelize with the sugar in the batter and created a crunch. I loved it, and so did everyone I shared it with.

Make this with fresh peaches while you can. While I don’t care for canned fruit, you could use it to make this cake during the winter if you choose. This works for breakfast or dessert.
