Method

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream together sugar and oil then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Sift flour and cinnamon together and add to wet mixture gradually. Fold in peaches, pecans and coconut (if using) and pour into greased tube pan. Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes Glaze: Melt butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla over medium heat. Bring to boil for 10 minutes then remove from heat and beat with a mixer to produce a thick caramel syrup. Pour over warm cake.

 

Notes: I prefer this cake without coconut. It is a good moisture additive, but this cake has plenty of moisture.
