1/2 cup Brown sugar [firmly packed]
1 29 oz. can Sliced peaches [drained]

Arrange the peach halves in the grooves of the pan on top of
the brown sugar and then place the cherry halves between the peaches.
In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the CAKE ingredients and mix at low speed
until moistened, then at high speed for 2 min.
Pour the batter into the pan over the fruit and bake in
pre-heated oven for 50 to 65 min. or until wooden pick comes out clean. [Cake
crust may become very dark so if necessary cover cake loosely with foil] Cool
for at least 15 min. and remove from pan.
FOR THE SAUCE
2 T. Butter [melted]
2 T. Peach schnapps
1/8 t. Cinnamon
In a small bowl combine all of the SAUCE ingredients and mix until well blended.
Then with a long tined fork CAREFULLY pierce the top of the cake between the
peaches and spoon the sauce over the top of the cake.
FOR THE TOPPING
1 cup Whipping cream or 1 large tub Cool Whip
1 t. Confectioner's sugar
2 T. Peach schnapps
In yet another small bowl, combine all of the ingredients (cool whip may be
substituted for whipping cream) mix well until soft peaks form. Serve over the
cake (preferably warm, but cool is not bad either) |
