Peachy Cloud Cake
"A Peachy Idea"
I found a white cake mix in my cabinet and was trying to think of something for my husband and I to have with coffee last night. I didn't want to make a whole cake so I figured I'd make it in two layers and freeze one, which is what I did. I also found a can of lite peach slices so I got the idea from that. I poured half the batter in one 8" pan and put the peaches in the other layer and it made the juiciest cake I ever made.
It's a good way to get some fruit in your diet and with only one layer, half the calories of the cake. My husband loved it and that's saying a lot because he's not a big dessert eater. I buy lite peaches so not to get too much sugar and I'm glad I did.
It's something you can make in a snap and of course you can substitute other canned fruit if you like. I'm thinking fruit cocktail would be good and more colorful too. Hope you try this recipe. Enjoy!
