My friend over at Southern Lady Cooks enticed me with her Peach Cake recipe. Since I had all the ingredients (there’s not many), I whipped it up Sunday afternoon.
My mom, who’s been rehabbing from her hip surgery, got to enjoy a piece when I stopped by to check on her. I guess I get my love of homemade desserts from her. We collect cookbooks as a hobby and read them like novels!
Yummo!
Now on to the Southern Lady’s recipe…

Peach Cake
1 large can sliced peaches, drained and mashed (I used 2 regular cans since that is all I had at the time) You could also use fresh peaches. 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda Drain the peaches and empty into a large bowl. I just used my hands to mash them. Add flour, sugar and soda and mix well. Spray a 9 x 13 inch cake pan and pour in batter. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes. See recipe below for icing. Icing: 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 regular sized can of evaporated milk 1 stick butter or margarine 1 cup coconut (I used a little more than a cup of coconut) 1 cup nuts (Doris uses pecans I used walnuts) Boil everything but the nuts on top of the stove until thickens, remove from heat, stir in nuts and spread on cooled cake. Enjoy!Pop on over to her site to thank her for this delicious recipe and if you get a chance, make it this weekend. It’s easy. :)

The Smoked Turkey Salad recipe is coming up next, I promise!
Hello there,
I came accross your website. Looking for a Peach Cake. My husband wants a Peach Cake for Fathers Day, & I promised him that I would find a good Southern recipe. Can you help me? The cake looks out of this world, I’m drooling at the mouth, I hope I can make this for his SPECIAL day!
Thank you & God Bless!
P.J.
This cake is fabulous and very rich! What kind of help do you need?
Hi Jillian,
Thank you for your quick response, Well I came accross 2 of the Southern Peach cakes on your site. One was the Southern Lady’s Peach Cake, this was a large picture, than I clicked on that link & brought me to a different looking cake called Peach cake with coconut iceing, BUT the picture of the cake was real deep dark red in color, & that one was not the recipe I choose. So my question is, are there two Peach cake recipes on the this site? I really wanted the link of the first Southern Peach Cake, that is lighter in color, unless I made a mistake. How do I attain that recipe?
Thank You,
oh, ok, I get it!
Actually the big picture is on my site and is MY version of Southern Lady’s Peach Cake, the darker one that you see when you click on her link. I made mine using her recipe, so you should be okay if you follow her recipe. 
Let me know how it turns out. Hope your hubby enjoys it!
Thank you Jillian,
your a doll, when I bake the cake I will add a little post to it, for Fathers Day!
Oh yum! I might fly you here to be my cook!
