FRESH PEACH MELBA COFFEE CAKE (BUCKLE)



Fresh Peach Melba Coffee Cake (Buckle) image

This recipe came out in this month's Family Circle. I just made it, and I thought it was delicious. I used fresh peaches, and everyone thought it was very tasty. I don't know if I would call it a coffee cake or a cobbler. We ate it similar to a cake for dessert (in slices). According to Family Circle, "this fruit-filled dessert buckles as it bakes, hence the name". I used black raspberry preserves. I also used a bit more than the recipe called for- but this is just a personal preference. It was easier to just use the rest of an already opened jar. I ended up covering the edges with foil about 3/4 the way though its baking time because they browned a bit faster than the middle (like a pie). It thought it was almost better the second day when the cake had soaked up more of the fruit. It is SO GOOD! Try it!!
