Peach Perfect

My son insisted that I make cake or he will disown me. ("I will not play with you anymore" is the exact wording of the threat)

Fearing impeachment, I turned to peach.

A brief search on the net revealed a number of recipes. Did a mix and match to suit what was available in the kitchen. As a symbol of rebellion against "from scratch"-ers, decided to use yellow cake mix.

Adding two tablespoons of grits to the batter gave it a whole different texture.. more crunch. Should remember to add it to my next cake.

Lining the cake pan with parchment paper was a good idea... The flower pattern on the bottom was undisturbed in the "flip on to a plate" step.




Here is the short and sweet recipe
* Make yellow cake batter as per the cake mix instructions.
* Add two tablespoons of grits as per the grits pack instructions.(optional)
* Melt two tablespoons of butter(I used tub margarine, but hey, that's just me)
* Core and slice peaches, line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper, arrange peach slices on top. Sprinkle brown sugar and drizzle melted butter.
* Pour cake batter.. Bake as per instructions.

Flip onto a plate!

There it is! Brown on the outside, yummy all over! :-D
