This Peach Lemon Butter Cake Will Literally Melt in Your Mouth

Okay okay okay — this cake is so good that people in Italy call it paradise cake. So basically, it’s pretty easy to make it and melts in your mouth — a combo that equates to paradise.

We made this to pair with a delicious Moscato wine that had heavy notes of stone fruit. We were so pumped about how this turned out that we’re bringing it to our next dinner party, so you should too.
