2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking soda. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

3. Prepare Peach Mixture: In a food processor or blender, combine the peaches and eggs. Blend until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the peach and egg mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a smooth batter.

5. Bake: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Prepare Topping: While the cake is baking, prepare the delicious topping. In a saucepan, combine 3/4 cup of sugar, margarine, chopped nuts, Milnot Condensed Milk, and coconut flakes. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 6 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes golden brown.

7. Finishing Touch: Once the cake is baked and still warm from the oven, pour the prepared topping evenly over the surface of the cake, ensuring that it covers the entire surface.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing into generous portions. Serve this delightful Peach Cake warm or at room temperature, savoring each bite of its tender crumb and luscious peach flavor.
