Today is my Wednesday and tomorrow it is Kelly's Wednesday so I am going to post 2 recipes - one now and one in 24 hours - to cover all time zones ! To sell what Kelly has chosen to post click here ! My chosen recipe for today is called Connie's Simple Peach Cake. It really is very simple and the result is really very delicious and any type of fruit can be used. As you can see I used fresh berries.
Directions:
Prep Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
- 1 In a bowl, cut butter into cake mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat lightly into a greased 13"x9"x2" baking pan. The tighter you pack it, the heavier the "crust.".
- 2 In another bowl, beat egg yolks, add sour cream and mix well. (You can also substitute yogurt as desired).
- 3 Set aside some slices of fresh peaches for garnish if you desire. Cut remaining peaches into 1" pieces; stir into the sour cream mixture. You can substitute 6-8 med. fresh peaches, peeled, sliced and cooked for just a couple of minutes to a boil in a water/sugar solution.) I then drain the majority of the solution leaving only a tablespoon with the peaches. Set fresh peaches aside to cool.
- 4 Spread peach, egg, and sour cream mixture over cake crust; sprinkle with cinnamon.
- 5 Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Cool.
- 6 Spread with cool whip or whipping cream. If desired, add some flavoring such as orange and/or food coloring to the cool whip. For the cool whip, you can substitute 1/2 pint of sweetened whipping cream whipped. Garnish with peach slices. Store in the refrigerator.
The changes I made may be worth noting. I used 3 whole eggs and instead of sour cream I used 2 cups of vanilla fat free yoghurt plus 1.2 cap of almond essence. It got rave reviews !
I love that you're posting a recipe for each of our Wednesdays :-) Wish I'd thought of doing that!
I want to eat that cake right now! Love that you can use any fruits you want - a recipe perfect for any time of the year :-)
