Peaches And Cream Layer Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease or spray bottoms only of two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans. Reserve 8 peach slices for garnish; cover and refrigerate. In blender or food processor, place remaining peaches. Cover; blend until pureed. Reserve 1/4 cup blended peaches for filling; cover and refrigerate.
• In large bowl, beat remaining blended peaches, the cake mix, oil, 1/4 cup whipping cream and the eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans.
• Bake 8-inch rounds 31 to 36 minutes, 9-inch rounds 26 to 33 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; carefully remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In small bowl, stir reserved 1/4 cup blended peaches and 1/4 cup peach preserves until blended. Set aside for filling.
• In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, butter, liqueur and just enough of the 2 to 4 tablespoons whipping cream with spoon or electric mixer on low speed until smooth and spreadable.
• Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Spread peach filling over layer to within 1/4 inch of edge. Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake with frosting.
• In small bowl, stir 3 tablespoons peach preserves; carefully spoon preserves around top edge of cake, allowing some to drizzle down side. Just before serving, cut reserved peach slices lengthwise in half; place on top of cake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Drain peaches, reserving 1-3 T juice for the topping and set aside.
• Combine cake mix, melted butter, and egg in medium bowl.
• A soft dough will form.
• This can be done by hand or with an electric mixer.
• Press dough onto bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9x13 inch pan.
• Cover dough with drained peaches.
• To make the topping, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and juice with electric mixer until creamy.
• Spread over peaches.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and fold and crimp the edges as desired. Lay a large piece of foil over the dough and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake until the dough begins to dry and set but is still very pale, about 12 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and continue to bake until the dough is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. Set aside to cool completely on a rack.
• Put the cream cheese, sugar and 1/4 cup water in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat on medium-high until light and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into the cooled pie crust and smooth out into an even layer. Top with the peach slices, loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours or up to overnight.

Steps:

• Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a parchment paper circle.
• Cover the bottom of the pan with the cookies. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the granola on top of the cookies. Scoop the peach ice cream and vanilla ice cream onto the granola layer, packing them in tightly and alternating the scoops to create a marbled or checkerboard effect. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge of it, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
• Add the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
• Frost the top and sides of the cake with the vanilla whipped cream frosting and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup granola. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
• Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms and sides of 3 (8- or 9-inch) round pans with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. Place peach slices in blender container. Cover; blend about 30 seconds or until smooth. Pour 1 cup pureed peaches into small bowl; stir in peach nectar, 2 teaspoons vanilla and orange peel. Reserve remaining puree for frosting.
• In large bowl, beat 1 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add granulated sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, and peach mixture, about half at a time, beating just until blended. Pour 2 cups batter into each pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 40 minutes.
• For filling, in large bowl, beat 1 cup of the butter with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in 4 cups of the powdered sugar on low speed, 1 cup at a time, until smooth. Beat in 2 tablespoons reserved peach puree and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Place one cake layer on cake plate, top side up. Spread 2/3 cup filling over top. Top with second layer, top side down; spread with 2/3 cup filling. Top with remaining layer, top side up. Thinly frost side and top of cake with remaining filling; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat remaining 2 cups butter with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in remaining 8 cups powdered sugar on low, about 1 cup at a time. Beat in 4 tablespoons reserved peach puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla and food color until blended and desired peach color.
• Fill decorating bag fitted with large open star tip (1/2-inch opening). Starting about 1 1/2 inches from bottom edge of cake, make center of rosette flower by squeezing frosting in a tight circle. Continue making concentric circles around center, to make flower about 3 inches in diameter. Make flowers to cover side of cake, staggering up and down around cake. Make flowers on top of cake and fill in open spaces with wavy lines.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a medium or large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cornstarch. Blend. Make a well in the center and add the vanilla, eggs, milk and melted butter. Whisk together until well combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Slice the peaches into bite-sized pieces, scattering them over the top of the batter evenly. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and reserved peach juice together until light and creamy. Dollop the cream cheese mixture in tablespoon-sized spoonfuls over the top of the batter and peaches and then use a spatula to evenly spread together to form a creamy layer. It doesn't have to be perfect, just try to spread it as evenly over the top as possible (it's ok if peaches are peeking through in spots). Sprinkle the top of the cream cheese layer generously with cinnamon and sugar.
• Bake for 45-60 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden and the cream cheese layer has bubbled slightly on top. This is a difficult cake to test for doneness because of the gooey cream cheese layer. If the middle is still jiggly, bake until it no longer jiggles and the cake batter layer is puffed and no longer runny. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat jelly to boiling. In small bowl, mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water; stir into jelly. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Cool completely.
• Bake and cool cake as directed on box for angel food (tube) pan. Remove from pan.
• In medium bowl, gently fold cinnamon into whipped topping. Spread on top and side of cake. Arrange peach slices on top. Stir glaze; spread over peaches and top of cake, allowing some to drizzle down side. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease two 9 inch round cake pans with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out excess flour.
• Place about 8 of the peach halves in a food processor fitted with the steel blad and process until smooth. This should measure about 1 1/2 cups. Reserve 1/2 cup syrup and the remaining peach halves.
• Place cake mix, peach puree, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla in mixing bowl. Blend with mixer on low, for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down sides of bowl. Increase mixer speed to medium, and beat 2 to 3 minutes more, scraping down sides again if needed. Divide batter between prepared pans. Place in the oven.
• Bake cakes until golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 28-32 minutes. Remove pans from oven and cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edge of each layer and invert each onto a rack. While layers are still warm, poke holes in top of them with toothpick or wooden skewer. Carefully pour reserved peach syrup over the layers so that the cake soaks up all the juice. Let the layers cool completely.
• Meanwhile, prepare sweetened cream and served in the refrigerator. (Instructions for sweetened cream at bottom.) Cut the remaining peach halves into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place one cake layer, right side up, on serving platter. Spread the top with sweetened cream. Place the second layer, right side up, on top of the first and frost the top and sides of the cake with clean, smooth strokes. Arrange the peach slices attractively on top of the cake.
• Sweetened Cream:.
• Place a clean, large mixing bowl and electric mixer beaters in the freezer for a few minutes while you assemble the ingredients. Pour the whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat with the electric mixer on high speed until the cream has thickened, 1 1/2 minutes. Stop the machine and add the sugar. Beat the cream and sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• For frosting: At low speed beat topping mix, milk, vanilla and nutmeg until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Cover; refrigerate.
• For cake and filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Combine peach slices, 1 T. sugar and 1 T. r um; let stand, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in large bowl with mixer on low speed, beat cake mix, buttermilk, butter, eggs, and 3 T. rum until moistened, 4 minutes.
• Spread batter in pans. Bake 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool on racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on racks.
• Meanwhile, at medium speed, beat cream cheese with remaining sugar and rum until thoroughly combined. Fold in 1/3 cup reserved frosting; refrigerate.
• Assembly: Place 1 cake layer on serving plate; spread with cream cheese mixture. Top with peach slices, reserving several for garnish.
• Top with remaining cake layer; spread top and side of cake with remaining frosting.
