I have a small fruit orchard here in our yard.  I have several apples, a few pears, and three peach trees.  Let me tell you there is nothing like a fresh picked ripe peach.  The problem with these delectable peaches is that I am not the only one who has a love affair with my peaches.

It is a battle between me, the squirrels, possums, racoons and birds.  Even my chickens when they are free ranging end up under the trees enjoying any fruit that has fallen.  One year we went on a three-day vacation and when we got home there wasn’t a peach left on my trees, and they were loaded when we left.  I assumed that our house sitter had harvested them and helped himself to the batch.  Nope, some furry friends took them all!  We have found a way to battle the beasts with some netting, so this year I should have a full harvest.

What better way to enjoy fresh peaches than in a cake and this cake gives you two layers of the sweet juicy fruit.  I used gluten free flour and panko bread crumbs in the recipe, but all purpose flour and regular panko bread crumbs will work just as well.
