This truly is a Mother In Law cake. I made it 2 years ago for Thanksgiving... and... Well, I found out AFTER my mother in law had eaten it, that she was allergic to Peaches. No one had ever told me. So I make it every once in awhile, Just to taunt her... Of course I always make her Black Forest Cake as well

Haha, at first I was looking to see how much mother-in-law was in the cake, but I guess this way works as well.

LOL. I hope she wasn't very badly allergic....
This sounds so good and I bet my husband would love it. Thanks so much for sharing in my contest.
