"Cinnamon Peach Coffeecake is a deliciously light sweet coffeecake that has almost a chewy, crackly top after baking. Do make sure to use ripe, fresh peaches, but not too wet. A simple dusting of confectioners' sugar once completed finishes this off nicely."

5 cups peaches, skins removed, pitted and cut in thin wedges
nonstick cooking spray
3 cups sugar
³⁄₄ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely minced
3 cups all-purpose flour

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare peaches.
Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla and lemon zest. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in the prepared peaches and nuts; gently combine. Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until cake tests done. (Watch cake toward end of first half-hour; if it browns too quickly, shield loosely with foil.) This is great served with lemon sorbet.

This is a nice and very easy to make cake, which came out as described. I thought, however, that it was a little too sweet for my taste. Thank you for the recipe.

My most used and favorite cookbook is the 1946 edition of Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking School handed down to me from my Mother. My most favorite kitchen utensils are a set of Johnson & Wales knives given to me by my mother, a professional chef. I enjoy traveling to exotic places, trying new foods and bringing home rare ingredients to expirement with. I work fulltime as a lab technician for a local diagnostic center. In addition to that, during my free time I'm either at the gym, listening to music, tending to my herb garden and/or trying out new recipes & ideas in the kitchen. I am a classically trained singer and musician, passionate about music. My favourite thing to do is sit outside in my garden with my husband, a glass of wine, good food, music & a few good friends. <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/AnimatedHostChallengeBanner.gif alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting />
