Uhhhhhhhhhhhh- looks great.You could post the recipe.Just sayin'
Here you go. Be advised there are two recipes here. I prefer to make the cake from scratch. The first is for the cake, and the second is for upside-down cake. I use a whisk rather than a beater to mix cake batter. Warm, and topped with French Vanilla Ice Cream it is sooo good; probably not legal.
I use frozen peaches.
