Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 We made this yesterday with fresh peaches and it was just soooooooooooo good. I do Strawberry Shortcake this same way. Peach Shortcake 1 box of White/ Vanilla Cake Mix ( choose brand of your choice) Prepare as recommended and bake in a sprayed 9x13 casserole dish. Cool Completely 1 lg. container of Cool Whip 5 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced. Be sure to remove any rough texture that surrounded the seed. 2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice 1/2 c. Sugar Mix the peaches, lemon juice and sugar together in a bowl and let sit at room temp for about 30 minutes until juice has formed in bowl with the peaches and the sugar has melted. Fold the Peach mixture into the Cool Whip. Frost the cooled cake with this and let sit for at least 30 minutes to moistened the cake. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 This sounds like a great & very tasty idea. I am wondering why the author substituted cool whip for whipping cream when Cool Whip usually contains hydrogenated fat. I suppose that Cool Whip may be vegan--is it? Or, does the peach mixture break down the whipped cream? Also, I would submit that making a quick basic white or yellow cake from scratch would have a better flavor and texture than a cake mix. If anyone is interested in a simple quick yellow cake recipe, let me know.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 LOL I am the author. Make any white/vanilla recipe of your choice. I just use Cool Whip because it is easy and I enjoy the taste. Judy - Kathleen M. Pelley Sunday, August 20, 2006 8:07 AM Re: Peach Shortcake This sounds like a great & very tasty idea.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Your recipe sounds yummy Judy & hubby wants to have it soon, like yesterday lol. Cool Whip also has about 1/3 the calories of whipped cream and 0 cholesterol so we can have extra big servings! (jk) Peace, Diane , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > LOL I am the author.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Diane. We had a couple of single guys from our church over the other night. They are like extended family brothers to us. They loved this cake. They had to have a second piece and wanted more, but they were stuffed with dinner and that. I always feel sorry for single guys and we invite them over often. Maybe one day the right women will come along and take these jewels as their knights in shining armor. : ))) I'm glad I have such a great knight in shining armor myself. : )))) With this quick recipe you can make it to go with your Sunday dinner.
