This Simple Butter Cake with Peach Sauce is soft, buttery and delicious. I made the peach sauce to make it look pretty, but it didn’t need it!

Wow!  It has been a crazy week.  It was nice to take a little blogging break and catch up on some things at home.  We prepared for and had a fantastic garage sale.  We also did some preparation for our Christmas traffic, for our business.

I am so delighted to be participating in the Secret Recipe Club this month.  It is so exciting, kind of like Christmas morning.  This is how it works…  You sign up for The Secret Recipe Club by going to the website here. A name is ‘drawn’ and assigned to you.  “You simply choose any recipe from the blog you are assigned, make or bake it, and blog about it on the date specified…”

This month I “drew” Yumsilicious Bakes a fantastic blog written by Avanika, a 21 year old from Mumbai.  She has recently relocated to the UK to attend University of Warwick’s Business School for her Masters.  Avanika says she has a sweet tooth and judging from her fabulous collection of recipes I can agree.

I found a huge selection of amazing recipes and wanted to make so many, but in the end her story about an amazing New York Style Coffee Cake being comforting drew me to the cake side.  I am a cake lover, I could eat it all day long.  Truth be told that line about cake just being the carrier for the icing, doesn’t apply to me.  I would prefer to have two pieces of the cake and leave the icing.  Weird I know.  

This Simple Butter Cake was no different.  It is soft, buttery and delicious.  I made a Peach Sauce to go on top to make it look pretty, but it certainly didn’t need it!!!

A – MAZ – ING!!!  I actually have a bite sitting next to me that I couldn’t finish.  I had it with dinner.  I am giving the rest of the cake away.  It is so good that I could eat it until I had a belly ache and that wouldn’t be good!

Check her out and check out the Secret Recipe Club!!!

Enjoy!

With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

  1. The cake looks perfect. (What is up with your preference for an icing free cake? That is crazy talk from the girl who mocked my icing free cookies! hee hee)

    I hope that you have a fabulous day today!

  2. seriously what is better than a butter cake. The moist yumminess is just heavenly. It reminds me of my grandmother's baking! Thanks for sharing- great SRC post

  3. Aww, thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked my blog. You picked an amazing cake there, it's one of my favorites!! Good choice with omitting the crumb, I loved it without.

    P.S – The link to my post is broken, it has an extra 'c' at the end of the URL!

  4. I am so jealous! I will need to take a blogging break soon so I can get some projects done. A garage sale is a big one! This cake looks very soft and delicious. My husband would pop a slice in the toaster and have it for breakfast 🙂 Have a great week and welcome back.

  5. 5 stars
    I love icing-free cake. The peach sauce tastes wonderful on this one. I love it and will be making more very soon!
