FUZZY NAVEL UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Category: Cakes from Cake Mixes

Cake
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 (29 oz) can sliced peaches, drained
8 Maraschino cherries, cut into halves
1 Yellow cake mix w/pudding (18 oz)
1 3 oz. Pkg. Vanilla instant pudding mix
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup peach schnapps
1 tsp grated orange peel
4 eggs

Pre-heat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 12 cup fluted tube pan and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly in the bottom.

Arrange the peach halves in the grooves of the pan on top of the brown sugar and then place the cherry halves between the peaches.

In a large mixing bowl, mix all of the cake ingredients and mix at low speed until moistened, then at high speed for 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the pan over the fruit and bake for 50 to 65 minutes or until wooden pick comes out clean. (Cake crust may become very dark so if necessary cover cake loosely with foil.) Cool for at least 15 minutes and remove from pan.

Sauce
2 tsp Butter [melted]
2 tsp Peach schnapps
1/8 tsp Cinnamon

In a small bowl combine all of the SAUCE ingredients and mix until well blended. Then with a long tined fork CAREFULLY pierce the top of the cake between the peaches and spoon the sauce over the top of the cake.

Topping
1 cup Whipping cream or 1 large tub Cool Whip
1 tsp Confectioners sugar
2 tsp Peach schnapps

In yet another small bowl, combine all of the ingredients (cool whip may be substituted for whipping cream) mix well until soft peaks form. Serve over the cake (preferably warm, but cool is not bad either).
