DessertsHow To Make A Peaches and Cream Dessert Cake
If you like cheese cakes and peaches, I think you will enjoy this dessert cake recipe.
The cake is very rich and sweet, and made in the 2 layer technique. The first layer is like that of a traditional cake and the second layer is more like a cheese cake. If desired, you can completely omit the cinnamon sugar topping.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (3 ounce) box vanilla pudding mix (not instant)
3 tablespoons butter, softened

In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the above ingredients together (except for the sliced peaches), in the order they are given and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour mixture into your prepared baking pan. Drain the juice from your peaches, (reserve the juice for the next step), and layer them on top of the batter.
