Have fresh peaches? Make pound cake!

Here is another summer dessert recipe from my kitchen to yours. You’ll need several fresh, juicy peaches for this recipe. And then you’ll need a treadmill, but we’ll worry about that later. Make this over the weekend and share it with your family and friends. It’s mighty tasty and very sweet.
