Baking With Agave Nectar

I just bought a new book - Baking with Agave Nectar, by by Ania Catalano on Amazon.com. The book is fabulous, especially considering my latest obsession is with agave nectar. For Easter brunch I decided to dive in and make my first recipe out of the book. 99.9% of the time I bake cupcakes, because I am obsessed with them but I decided to make the "Peach Melba Cake" recipe. It's vegan, sugar-free, and very tasty! There are three layers to the cake - the bottom a peach cake, the middle a peach custard, then a strawberry topping with a jello-like glaze.

It turned out great (see pictures below). It was very lightly sweetened and very fruity. If I was having a craving for sugar, I could have substituted sugar for agave in the cake but me and my brunch guests (family) loved the lightness of it.
