<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The secret to this cake&rsquo;s irresistible flavor is the perfect balance of melted butter, cardamom, and almond extract! The warm spices complement the sweet, juicy peaches while the whole milk (or cream) creates an incredibly tender crumb that practically melts in your mouth.</p>
