Ryan Bakes: My First Guest Post: Peach and Toasted Pecan Cake with Peach Cream Cheese Frosting

Hi! I'm Ryan and I live in Virginia with my wonderful husband who encouraged me to start this blog.

I'm part Italian and part Southern so I love good food and feeding people (usually whether they want to be fed or not). I could pretty much spend all my time cooking and baking if I had my preference and have a slight addiction to cookbooks. Blogging is the perfect place to try new recipes and challenge myself in the process, and I've enjoyed learning new skills and techniques since starting this blog. It's been great to meet and hear from so many other home cooks who share the same passion, and I greatly appreciate the many kind comments and emails I've received. Thanks for visiting and welcome!

My First Guest Post: Peach and Toasted Pecan Cake with Peach Cream Cheese Frosting

I had the privilege of guest posting today over at Fleur-De-Licious for the lovely Hannah. This is my first guest post ever, so please head on over there to see the recipe for this yummy cake! If you've never checked out Hannah's blog, you are missing out. Please go on over and say hello!

I made a fresh peach and toasted pecan layer cake with peach cream cheese frosting. What can I say, I can't stop the peach madness! :) I really loved this cake and to see the recipe just click on the link! :)

Hi Ryan

I was wondering if I could omit the pecans, will the cake still taste the same.

Hi Jackie, I think it would be fine to omit the nuts. The pecans add more texture and crunch than anything, and most of the flavor comes from the peaches, and the almond and vanilla extracts. I think its fine to leave them out and, I might do the same if I were bringing this to a large group where I had to worry about nut allergies. Thanks for the comment and I'd love to hear how it goes if you end up making it!
