1 c. sugar 

2 eggs 

1/3 c. water 

1 tsp. vanilla extract 

1/8 tsp. almond extract

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in water and extracts. Stir in peaches. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in pecans. Pour into a greased 9x5x3" loaf pan. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter.

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but it's good! I had some ripe peaches I needed to use up today so I made this (minus the pecans cause I didn't have any and I left off the brown sugar topping too). I also doubled the recipe and baked it in a Bundt pan. Smelled so good while it was baking John was hanging out in the kitchen waiting for it to come out of the oven! It doesn't really taste very peachy, but I'll definitely be making it again.
