How to Make A Dream Of Peaches N Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your cake mix box. Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. Make cake batter according to the directions on your favorite boxed cake mix. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  3. Bake for the time specified on the cake mix box, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely in the pans before inverting onto wire racks.
  4. Once cakes are completely cool, carefully slice each layer horizontally to create four layers total.
  5. In a medium saucepan, combine 16 oz fresh peaches (peeled and sliced), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are softened and the sauce has thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Remove the peach mixture from the heat and let it cool completely.
  7. In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the peach mixture and sour cream are completely cooled, layer the cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Top with 1/3 of the peach mixture, then 1/3 of the sour cream. Repeat layers twice.
  9. Frost the entire cake with whipped cream (approximately 2 cups). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend and the cake to set before serving.
