Brown Sugar Peach Cake

Instructions

1. Prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, peach nectar, and optional food coloring until smooth. Gently fold in chopped peaches. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Bake: Bake for 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (moist crumbs are okay). Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
3. Make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Bring to a gentle boil while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar.
4. Mix glaze: Stir until smooth and sugar lumps dissolve. If needed, place back on low heat to maintain pourable consistency.
5. Glaze the cake: Pour glaze evenly over the warm cake, trying to cover it all at once, as the glaze sets quickly. Let the cake sit to allow glaze to firm up slightly.
6. Serve: Slice into squares and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
