Poppy Seed Bread with Glaze
This recipe was given to my mom from our neighbor. The poppy seed bread is topped with an orange glaze for a sweet and delicious treat. The bread is still very scrumptious if you choose not to use the glaze. This is the best!
Peach Cake with Brown Sugar Icing
A moist, light peach cake is topped with a sugary sweet, praline-like icing for a decadent dessert. Since this recipe starts with boxed cake mix and canned peaches, you can make it easily any time of year, not just when peaches are in season! Replace the icing with a crumble topping for a more coffee cake-like variation.
