Over the last week, I've had a couple cooking successes. On Friday, my husband and I had a date night with one of my close friends, Shelly, and her husband. They had been married for a little less than a year.When the boys were done fixing their trucks and coaching football, we planned to order Chinese and relax a little. Since Shelly and I had avoided cooking dinner, we felt that we were shirking our wife duties. So we decided to make a wonderful desert with things we had around the house. I had some peaches that were about to go bad and she had some vanilla ice cream. We got on Pinterest (the ultimate recipe box) and found a Peach Upside Down Cake recipe. After peeling the skin off the peaches, and nearly cutting my finger off, the rest was just a matter of mixing the ingredients together. Although the recipe calls for a whopping 3/4 cup of butter, we decided that the recipe was pretty healthy because of all the peaches! While the cake cooked for 45 minutes, we all enjoyed the Tennessee vs. Florida football game and our take out from Mandarin Garden. Waiting for the cake to cool for the full 5 minutes was essential if we wanted the cake to pop out of the glass pan whole. The cake-like portion of the cake was light and fluffy, with the ooey-gooey peaches and brown sugar on top. It was very good! Success! With a dollop of ice cream, our husbands stamped their approval of the recipe.
Here is the link to the recipe on the Midwest Living Website. Enjoy!
