What's better than an easy to make recipe that also tastes delicious?! This sweet take on a classic is a fun way to quickly whip up an impressive dinnertime dessert. This is no ordinary cake. It's more like a sticky, gooey cake with an absolutely yummy, slightly crunchy top. Sort of like a cobbler. When you slice a piece, it may not be the prettiest but boy is it good. A light dessert for summer.

How To Make gooey peach cake
-
Step 1In a large bowl, mix cake batter as directed on box. For a more rustic cake, you can leave it a bit clumpy. (This is one point where you could add extract.)
-
Step 2In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and corn starch until well combined.
-
Step 3In a small nonstick skillet, heat peaches in juice, breaking them up a little. (You can also add the extract here if you choose to use it.)
-
Step 4Add the brown sugar mixture and stir until thickened.
-
Step 5In an ungreased 9x13 cake pan (I use Pyrex, which comes with a lid for storage and transport) pour cake batter.
-
Step 6Drop peaches by large spoonfuls all over the batter.
-
Step 7If you want almonds, sprinkle them on at this point.
-
Step 8Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes. Don't overbake; it's best when it's still a little gooey.
-
Step 9Serve hot or cold, with ice cream or milk, or sneak spoonfuls from the pan every time you pass the kitchen. ;)
