Author Notes

The name of this cake literally represents the cake itself. We made a very American peach cake to go along with a very Brazilian filling and glaze. Both filling and glaze are sweet staples of a lot of Brazilian desserts: condensed milk and coconut. This cake is a great option for the warm weather because it has a mix of flavors and it needs to be served cold!! Enjoy it! —BrazilianFlairintheUSA
