Instructions

- Repeat layering as desired, ending with crumbs on top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a sweeter cake, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the peach mixture. If you don’t have whole wheat bread crumbs, crushed graham crackers or oats can serve as a great substitute. To enhance the flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. This cake is also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delightful on its own but can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of yogurt for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with Gingered Peach Sauce for a delicious contrast. Consider serving it alongside a refreshing Ribbon Salad(Dietetic Recipe) for a well-rounded meal.
