Peach Snack Cake

Saturday 6 October 2012
Hello and Welcome!
Today I would like to share a recipe with you. I had some leftover peaches and I wanted to use them up. My grandma used to say you could make a cobbler with a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, a cup of  milk and fruit. This is a variation of that, but it is not really like a cobbler, it is more like a snack cake. I should have taken a picture, but it is too late... I like recipes that use leftovers. I feel like I am being frugal.

Peach Snack Cake
1 stick of butter
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk
leftover canned peaches, drained, or whatever you have on hand
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Melt the butter in an 8x8 inch square pan in a 350 degree oven.
Coat the peaches with the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Mix together in a mixing bowl with a spoon, the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and mix until smooth.
When the butter is melted pour flour mixture on top of it, then spoon the peaches on top of the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until top is browned.
Really good served warm with ice cream.

I have finished three hats and started a pair of slippers, so I am on my way!
I would like to mention a couple of things I have learned from these patterns so far,

This pattern works up really quickly and is fun to make, but it is tight. I added two double crochets to the very beginning in Round 1, so 14 double crochet instead of 12, and I just worked them into each row afterwards. I like the size better for an adult man.

I started this hat with a skein of leftover yarn I had on hand. I ran out so I have to wait to finish it. This pattern is really fun. It is another one of those you can carry with you. It seriously has two rows; well, row 2 is repeated until it measures about 19 inches; so you can pick it up and start again without having to find your place on the pattern and count to figure out where you are. I love these types of patterns, easy-peasy.

This is the first time I have worked in the back loops only and I really like the way it looks like knitting.

I hope you had a good day today and enjoy your day tomorrow!
