Notes about this recipe

    This is delicious- almost too rich for “coffee cake”. I cooked this per the recipe, with peaches and almond extract, but like Anya, I had to bake this for an extra 15 minutes to cook it all the way through. I didn’t have the issue with disintegrating peaches.

    Been wanting to try this recipe. However, my peaches weren’t ripe, so I didn’t buy an orange, thinking I’d just wait until I had ripe peaches. However, I had some really nice strawberries, so decided to try it with those, and used lemon zest instead. Didn’t bother with almond extract, as my wife doesn’t like it. Turned out fantastic! Best strawberry cake we’ve ever had. Looking forward to trying out the peach version, but really glad I decided to try it with berries and lemon.

    My family loved this, but then we love almond and fruit. I had to substitute lemon zest for orange, but either works here. The cake was moist and tender. It did take 15 extra minutes to bake, but I might have had extra peaches - diced 2 of them and didn't measure. I will definitely make this again and would try other fruit (raspberries?); next time will try white whole wheat flour and a little less sugar to make it healthier.

    Love the flavor and texture of this cake. Did not have peaches so used some very ripe fresh apricots. Will make again once I have peaches on hand.

    Ok, but nothing to rave about. The fruit disintegrated into the the batter, maybe I diced the peaches too small? Would have liked to have bigger fruit pieces in the cake. Did not add the almond extract, because I do not care for it.
