Peach Olive Oil Cake

Peach Olive Oil Cake

What to do with all the peaches in season!?

Another summer recipe that reminds us of the sweet Greek peaches that are perfectly ripe in July/August. This cake is fruity and light and when served with Greek yogurt or even ice cream it will take you to cake heaven. Don’t be too careful about the presentation, in fact the more rustic it looks, the prettier it seems to be.
