Peaches and Cream Whiskey Loaf

I love when fresh peaches are in season! This recipe is sweet from the ripe peaches with a slight tang from the whiskey. This is a perfect after-dinner treat, but it's just as good with your morning coffee. It also makes a great gift to neighbors and friends. —Anne Ormond, Dover, New Hampshire

  1 loaf (12 slices)

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 to 2 tablespoons 2% milk
