Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, diced

  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  8. For frosting, melt butter, stir in brown sugar and milk, bring to boil, then cool.
