- 1/2 cup peach nectar or juice
- 1 lb peeled and chopped peaches (about 3-4)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, and peach nectar. If desired, add a drop of orange food coloring. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches, then pour the batter into a greased 9×12 inch baking pan.
- Bake for about 28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the icing by combining butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly, then remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract and sifted confectioner's sugar until smooth.
