Fresh peach season is quickly fizzling out. Thank goodness I've made my year's supply of Spiced Peach-Ginger jam. I had a few peaches left and I debated on what to make with them. I always love a good peach cobbler. Buuuuuuuuuuut, Pinterest reeled me in to make this recipe.
Peach and cream cheese? Um, yeah! In an unusual twist, for me, this recipe uses a boxed Yellow Cake Mix. (Do I hear hissing?) I know, I know... I'm usually a big fan of making scratch cakes. Once in a while, though, I'll reach for a box of Duncan Hines Cake mixes. Gotta love 'em for their convenience-- like when you're going to a dinner-- and you offer to bring dessert and realize that work has drained most of your energy.
