Peaches and cream cake

Peaches and cream

If you are a fan of peaches and cream then this is the recipe for you!

I created this recipe because we had a can of peaches in the cupboard that needed a purpose. But I didn’t want to make a normal everyday cake, I wanted to create something a little more exciting.. Que the cream cheese filling! Be warned, you may eat the entire cake in one sitting.

 

The best part about this cake is that you don’t need to ice it, the filling is all you need.
