Ingredients:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 box yellow cake mix (dry)
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup peach slices (fresh or canned)
- 1-2 cups peach candies (or use peach-flavored candies)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan, ensuring the cake won’t stick. ๐ |
| 2 | Mixing the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry yellow cake mix, softened cream cheese, and eggs. Using an electric mixer on low speed, blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds to combine. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy. ๐ฅ๐ |
| 3 | Layering the Cake: Spoon about two-thirds of the cake batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Next, arrange the peach slices on top of the batter in a decorative pattern. Sprinkle the peach candies over the peach slices for an extra burst of flavor and sweetness. ๐๐ฌ |
| 4 | Adding More Batter: Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over the peach slices and candies. Spread it gently with a spatula to cover the peaches completely and create a smooth top surface. ๐จ๐ฐ |
| 5 | Baking: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (but no wet batter), the cake is ready. ๐๐ฅ |
| 6 | Cooling and Drizzling: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. This allows the cake to set before removing it from the pan. In the meantime, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. After 15 minutes, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and drizzle the top with the tangy lemon glaze. ๐โจ |
| 7 | Serving Suggestions: This Painted Peach Cake can be served warm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Alternatively, let it cool completely and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Each slice is a delightful blend of fruity, creamy, and sweet flavors that will have everyone asking for seconds! ๐จ๐ |
