National Dessert Month, with a side of cinnamon pound cake with stewed peaches
How remiss have I been? It's been National Dessert Month for nearly three weeks now, and I haven't acknowledged it! Not that I needed to do much -- you're usually much more likely to see dessert recipes on here. In honor of the month, here's one I know you'll enjoy: Cinnamon Pound Cake with Stewed Peaches. And it's so much easier than it sounds.
Every week, a couple of friends from work come over on Wednesdays when we get off to watch "Lost" and talk about its conspiracies. Usually they are the willing guinea pigs for something new I've made as well. This last week, it was pound cake and peaches.
I got the original recipe from Emeril, who I hate to watch but love to steal recipes from.
Basically, I used his recipe, but when it came time to add cinnamon, it was more like 2 tablespoons instead of 2 teaspoons. Also, I didn't have any at the time, but this is the perfect recipe to substitute the butter with applesauce or apple butter.
As for the peaches, I couldn't find any fresh ones at this time of the year, so I went with two cans of peaches in light syrup. I left some of the syrup in when making the stewed peaches. It wasn't nearly as tasty as last time when I used fresh, but it was pretty good.
It's definitely a dessert I'll make in the future -- and I won't be waiting until next October to do it, either!
