For me, there's not much that says "summer" more than peaches. 
When I was growing up, we would go visit my grandma every summer. And every summer she would have homemade peach jam waiting for us. 
My grandma is an amazing cook. She can take a little of this and a little of that and turn it into the best thing you've ever eaten. 
I've never been able to replicate her peach jam, so I have to stick with things like this Peach Cobbler Loaf Cake to get my peach fix.
This cake is a tender, soft vanilla cake that has pieces of fresh peach throughout. It's topped with a sweet, brown sugar crumble topping and a drizzle of icing. This Peach Cobbler Loaf Cake would be equally at home for breakfast (coffee cake!) or for dessert. No matter when you enjoy it, this cake is a great way to enjoy a little bit of summery goodness!

Kinda confused with the crumb typing so I flattens it out and played it on top, wasn't "crumbly" and hoping it's supposed to bake into crumble?
Kate
Hi! The crumb topping is just sprinkled over the top.

Hello!
Love the sound of this recipe and I want to try it this evening. Do canned peaches work?
Kate
Hi! I've never used canned peaches in this recipe, but I would guess that they would work out well.

Should the peach be peeled?
Kate
I don't peel my peaches, but you can peel them if you prefer.
Marie
So good!!! I threw in a bit more fruit which I do to every recipe. It was great for breakfast and dessert.
Linda Chronister
What are the "?"s mean in the measurements in the recipe? and the '2's afterwards? :(
Kate
Sorry about that! There was a glitch that changed the formatting on the recipe card, but I've fixed it now. If you have any other questions, please let me know!
Pat Marrion
Do you think this would work with other fruit--blueberries come to mind, I have a lot right now.
Kate
I do! I think blueberries, apples, etc., could work in this recipe.
