Over the years, I've competed in several state fair cooking contests, and this cake is one of my most impressive entries. It looks as fantastic as it tastes. The fruit is in season right around Michigan's late August fair time.

This dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The peaches were perfectly ripe and the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce next time.

I've made this dessert several times now, and it's always a hit. The peaches are always ripe and juicy, and the sauce is divine. I like to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
