Introduction
This was a very simple and easy to execute recipe, best suited for summer when there are fresh peaches. While the recipe is well-written, the final product falls a bit short. The cake is good, but lacks anything that makes it truly great or unique. It’s a solid cake, but nothing to write home about. Unlike many of the recipes from Dessert Person, there was nothing particularly unique to this one in the form of a twist or edit that made it stand out from a more typical peach and bourbon cake.

Making The Batter
Assembling and Baking The Cake
Tip: We found it easiest to cut the peach slices by not removing the pit and cutting wedges with two slices angled inwards in a V-shape repeatedly (you’ll waste some peach, but the cuts will look nice).
Final Product
Key Takeaways
- Make sure to only attempt in summer when fresh peaches are in season.
- Final Score: 2/5 – Overall this was a fine recipe, it was just a bit simple and uninspiring. It’s a great way to get into the basics of cake baking though.
