Peach cobbler is a good one and easy to make. Matter of fact, I just took one out of my oven about 15 minutes ago.

Here's the recipe:

4 cups fresh peaches sliced and skinned
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup real butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup icewater

Preheat the oven to 350
Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan---I use a little bit of butter but not what the recipe calls for. Line the pan with peaches.

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, baking powder, salt, melted butter, vanilla and milk and stir until smooth. Pour this over the peaches as evenly as possible. If it is too thick to flow, add just a bit more milk.

Combine 1 cup sugar and the 1/4 cup water and pour this over the batter.

Bake for 1 hour at 350. Remove and allow to cool so the juices will set a bit before cutting into it.

Tres Leches cake is something I just love and not something you see often served anywhere outside mexican/cuban restaurants

Made a strawberry lemonade cake the other day that was different and really good especially about two days later after being in the fridge and getting super moist. Just google it

I live in South Texas so it's fairly common here

That being said, I'd second your idea. It's a good dish for groups and it's tough not to enjoy.

What’s on the dinner menu?
Tiramisu is always a crowd pleaser.
If your menu is very heavy/filling, you might consider something light and simple. I like a fruit sorbet in small scoops drizzled with a complimentary liqueur. Like raspberry sorbet w chocolate liqueur, or vanilla gelato with lemoncello.
