I really look forward to a slower start to the day on the weekends. I’m usually not in a big rush and my house has a more relaxed feel when I wake up on Saturday mornings. I like to sit on the front porch, sipping coffee and getting a little quiet time in with my husband before my children wake up. Along with my coffee, I like to splurge and have something a little sweet for breakfast on the weekends. This cake is not too sweet, but just perfect with that morning cup of Joe. This Peachy Breakfast Cake is a mouth watering, moist cake, that has a delicate hint of cinnamon along with warm peaches in every bite. You can make this right in your cast iron skillet (my favorite) or you can use a regular baking dish if you like. This cake also freezes really well, so sometimes I like to double the recipe and make 2. I love having an extra cake in the freezer that I can pull out for unexpected guests or a busy weekend. So take a little time during the week, if you have off or on the weekend to enjoy a cup of coffee, some breakfast cake and some quiet time with a loved one. It’s a great way to start to the day:)
