Ingredients:

For the Peach Cake Overture:

• 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, the golden jewels that grace our culinary canvas
• 1 box (approximately 15 ounces) angel food cake mix, the ethereal blend that elevates our peaches to heavenly heights

Instructions:

For the 2-Ingredient Peach Cake Ballet:

1. In a poetic prelude, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), creating an ambiance of warmth for our peachy creation.
2. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into bite-sized pieces—a tender prelude to the fruity symphony.
3. In a large bowl, gently combine the angel food cake mix with the sliced peaches, allowing them to dance together in sweet harmony—a rhythmic blend that forms our cake batter.
4. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan, creating a visual composition ready for its transformation—a culinary canvas poised for the oven.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean—a visual and aromatic symphony that signals the completion of our 2-Ingredient Peach Cake.

Cook Notes:

• Allow the cake to cool before slicing to achieve clean, defined edges.

Variations:

Vanilla Whispers Waltz:

Cinnamon Sonata:

• Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the peach slices before incorporating them into the batter for a warmly spiced twist.
