Fresh Georgia Peach Pound Cake

There's nothing quite like taking a bite of a super ripe Georgia Peach. You need to stand slouched over because the juice quickly drips down your chin, no matter how delicately you try to eat it. It's just pure pleasure!

Living in the south makes these peaches easier to get your hands on. Oh yum! 2 of my 3 kidlets love peaches and I mean LOVE! So, we buy a lot of peaches but sometimes we dont eat them quick enough. I cook them on the barbecue. I use them in parfaits. We make smoothies. Now, I make a killer peach pound cake. It's lovely because its a nice sturdy pound cake with this sweet yet tart peaches. it's just super easy and super yummy!
