That is great for breakfast – I am the worst culprit – so I would definitely have to make it the evening before – do you know if it freezes well? I could make a few ahead!
thank you!

The cake didn’t last long enough to freeze but it should be okay frozen. It is a moister cake so it may get a little moister and looser when it thaws. It certainly would be worth a try to have them ready in the freezer.

Thank you so much for creating this recipe combining two of my favorites… Cottage cheese and peaches. I made this for our church group and got rave reviews. I used strawberry Greek yogurt for added flavor. It’s a creamy consistency wrapped in a textured cake. Next time I might add a little more peach juice and a lot more peaches as they sink so nicely into the batter as it cooks so you have a peach in every piece.!
