This "bread" has the consistency of a cake made in a loaf pan.  The peach flavor makes it extra special.  You can eat it like a cake, with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop or whipped cream.  Or, you can enjoy it with a smear of cream cheese or butter.  The recipe was created by dessert maven and author Liz Horne, creator of the blog "Sweet Things by Lizzie"
