Ombre Peach Cake

Pretty in Peach! This Peach Cake is the perfect way to make the most of stone fruit season. Vanilla cake layers with a homemade peach filling and peach flavored frosting.
I’m not a summer kinda girl. It’s my least favorite season, which apparently makes me crazy according to my husband. I just don’t like the heat. Unless I’m on vacation or somewhere tropical, in which case bring on the sun and scorching temps. But when sweating as soon as I get out of the shower… no thank you. I’ll take the cooler temps and rainy days over that any time!
To me, summer isn’t berry season, it’s stone fruit season. We’re lucky enough so that we can make the most of all the delicious fruits grown there. I actually don’t have a ton of stone fruit recipes, and fewer that call for peaches, which is actually kinda sad because peaches may just be the best stone fruits out there. Note to self to create more stone fruit cakes.
Enough of my rambling, on to this Ombre Peach Cake!
