This is really a peach cobbler in cake form. The cake is so soft and buttery, with little pockets of peach throughout, keeping the cake extremely moist. The frosting is a brown sugar boiled icing, much like you would find on a Texas sheet cake. Pour it on while the cake is still warm and let it soak in a little as it cools and slightly hardens on top. Some of the frosting will likely pool around the edges and sides, making the corner piece a coveted one for once. It’s undeniably a sweet cake that highlights one of summer’s best fruits and is so easy to make.
