Peach Streusel Coffee Cake
Last Thursday I baked this coffee cake for friends. All three friends said the recipe is a keeper. Oh was it good. Rich moist cake with just enough streusel to compliment the peaches. When I bake this recipe (see the post below) again I'm going to slice the peaches to cover the entire top of the cake. I used Delmonte brand. I usually don't buy name brands but Delmonte was on sale.

Cupcake Specialty
Cup Cake by Chockylit has some very interesting, rich cupcake recipes. The photographs are as rich and appealing as the recipes. Even if you are not looking for cupcake recipes this place is worth visiting. I'm about ready to start baking cupcakes. Up to now I haven't done so.
Cupcakes remind me of my favorite childhood memories being with my Mom in the kitchen watching her make cupcakes. Also eating cupcakes my wife use to make for us, me and my three kids. They were youngsters then, thirty some years ago.
