Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the crushed pineapple, frozen peaches, cake mix, additional frozen peaches, and brown sugar in that order in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 to 60 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the brown sugar layer. You can substitute fresh peaches if they are in season, just make sure to slice them thinly. If you want a lighter version, use a sugar-free cake mix and reduce the amount of brown sugar used. This dish also works well with frozen mixed berries for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Linda's Peach Cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for a delicious dessert. It pairs beautifully with Fried Tomatoes(1928) as a side dish for a delightful brunch. For a festive touch, try garnishing with fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the peach cake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, covered with foil to prevent drying out.
