Instructions
-
Begin by draining the peaches, ensuring to reserve about 1 to 3 tablespoons of the juice for the topping, and set the peaches aside.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a soft dough forms, which can be achieved either by hand or with the help of an electric mixer.
-
Press the dough evenly onto the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan, making sure to extend it halfway up the sides of the pan to form a base for your cake.
-
Once the dough is evenly pressed into the pan, layer the drained peaches over the top, distributing them evenly across the surface.
-
To prepare the creamy topping, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and reserved juice in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture generously over the layer of peaches, ensuring every peach slice is coated with the luscious topping.
-
Finally, sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon over the top of the cream cheese mixture to enhance the flavor and add a touch of warmth.
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown.
-
Once baked, allow the Peaches and Cream Cake to cool slightly before serving, and watch as it becomes the centerpiece of your dessert table, sure to impress family and friends alike.
This Peaches and Cream Cake is perfect for large gatherings, potlucks, or simply as a sweet treat to brighten your day. Enjoy each delectable bite, knowing that this recipe has been a beloved part of family traditions for years!
