NOTES : [This is an adaptation of a recipe for peach almond cake, changed so it could be served to a friend with allergies to tree nuts and fruits. It tasted better than the peach almond version].

.The recipe listed all-purpose flour, but I used whole wheat flour.

2. The recipe calls for plain yogurt, but I always use Biobest 1%% fat active-culture yogurt (made by Astro), so I have entered the ingredients in this manner to determine the nutritional content.

Hi everybody. Jane is the only one of you to have actually tasted these cakes, and she has survived the experience. The original recipe ran in the Toronto Star last summer (I think), and I have made it several times. On the weekend, I adapted it so that writing about) could eat some too in spite of his allergies to things that grow on trees. In my opinion, the Blackberry version is actually better, but Doug says I shouldn't throw out the peach cake recipe just yet.Believe it
