Peach Loaf Cake – Juicy, Moist & Summer-Sweet

First, let me just say… thank you for stopping by my kitchen corner today. It always means so much to share these little slices of happiness with you. And this one? Oh, it’s pure sunshine in cake form! 🍑

I promised you versatile, and here’s proof — you don’t even need fresh peaches to make this beauty. Canned peaches work perfectly, so you can whip it up anytime the craving strikes. Moist, buttery, and swirled with sweet peach pieces, this loaf cake is anything but boring!! And wait until you smell it baking — the whole house turns into a peach-scented hug.
