Painted Peach Cake With Hot Tamale Centre

Gotcha! This is a perfectly delightful cake. It is quick and easy to make as you use a cake mix but it is as different to make as can be.

Each slice will look like a sun-kissed peach with a cinnamon kick.

• 1 pkg. white cake mix
• 2 pkg. cream cheese (not light)
• 5 large eggs
• 2 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced in wedges
• 1/3 – 1/2 cup of red cinnamon Hot Tamale candies, frozen

In your electric mixer combine the cake mix, cream cheese and 5 large eggs. Mix until smooth (about 2 minutes). Spray a bundt cake pan with Pam really well and spoon 1/2 of the cake into the prepared pan.

Arrange the peaches all around making sure they do not touch the cake pan. You should be able to get 2 rows all around the cake without touching the pan edges.

Remove the candies from the freezer and place in a sealable plastic bag. Get out the trusty rolling pin and smash the candies almost to crumbs. Sprinkle these on top of the sliced peaches and top with the remaining cake mixture.

In a preheated oven at 350 degrees, bake the cake for 35-45 minutes until the cake tests done.

Cool on a rack completely. Drizzle with a glaze made from 1/2 sifted icing sugar and 1-2 tbsp. lime juice.
