Caramelized Peach Topping

Caramelized Peach Topping~Perfect for Pound Cake

I am finally getting settled in to my new home. One thing that always makes a place feel like home to me is the first time I cook in the kitchen. On Saturday, I set out to do just that with a delicious pound cake and caramelized peaches recipe.

The first place I lived after moving out of my parents house was a small apartment. I set up my kitchen just the way I wanted it, but I didn’t do a lot of baking.

Two years later in my quiet new  home at 11:30 at night I decided it was time to bake! I used a basic pound cake recipe.

I love my mixer!


I did deviate from the directions and used a brownie pan instead of a loaf pan to bake it in. I topped it all off with some caramelized cinnamon peaches!

Peel and slice peaches, simmer in butter, sugar and cinnamon until tender.

Since it was my first time cooking in this kitchen I had to wait a while to gauge the temperature of the oven and the cake takes about an hour to bake. So there I was a 1:00 am eating of the pound cake in my kitchen as the rest of my little family was fast asleep! I love the way a house smells after baking. For the first time I didn’t smell the construction saw dust or paint, I smelled this amazing mixture of peaches, vanilla and sugar and I felt at home.
