Summer's Simplicities #2: Peaches and Cream

Installment 2 for quick variation on a familiar recipe making it more summer appropriate is peaches and cream cake. Take your favorite white cake recipe and 3 peaches. Slice the peaches and toss them in 2T of sugar and allow them to sit while you whip up the cake.

Take the peaches out of the syrup and mix the syrup in with the cake. Pour the cake into the pans and top with the peach slices and bake according to your recipe.

Frost the cake with:

1 pint whip cream

3T confectioners sugar

or

1/2 package instant vanilla pudding (if you want a thicker frosting)

Be careful not to over mix cream. Top with more peaches or berries of your choice. Keep in the fridge until just before you eat it.
