Heavenly Peach Greek Yogurt Cake

Summertime is around the corner and I’m thinking peaches!  

So I baked a Heavenly Peach Greek Yogurt Cake and all I could say was “Hello Gorgeous Peach Dessert, Come to Mama“!!  Incredible!!  Don’t you just love peach desserts and summer?  

This peach cake is made from scratch.  I must be getting finicky, because I am loving making cakes, brownies and cookies the old-fashioned way, home-made from scratch even more.

Don’t get me wrong, I use the mixes for shortcuts, but the flavor just seems to be sooooo much better when it’s home-made. Probably because of all the love I put into it, right?  

 This cake is Ina Garten’s recipe, with the exception of Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and I added a little extra cinnamon. The Greek yogurt helps make the cake moist, healthy and adds protein.  

The peaches are sweet and juicy! 

• Peaches are a very rich source of multivitamins and minerals.
• They have vitamins  A, C, E, and K and seven minerals — calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese and phosphorus. 
• Peaches are also a good source of antioxidants and fiber.  
• It’s a toxin cleanser, helps with weight control. 
• It’s a great source of Vitamin C which is widely used for skin care. (You can get plenty of Vitamin C from one large peach.)
• Apart from health benefits, you can directly use peaches for skin care helps to remove dark circles and blemishes.

 Who knew? Did you?

 The best time to buy peaches is in the summer, when they are in the peak of their season.  That’s when they have the best flavor, freshness and nutrition.

Choose peaches with taut, peach-fuzzy skin that gives in slightly when pressed.

For ripening peaches, place them in a paper bag or near a window that has lots of sunshine.
