A peach pudding to welcome Spring

This “Delicious Tennessee Peach Pudding” recipe is out of this world.

I think this “pudding” is out of this world. It reminds me of a chocolate pudding cake ..... moist and decadent. To me, it is a mixture of the New England Cobbler and a Buckle. This classic is usually prepared using a sugar syrup that is poured over the top, but I find the natural sweetness of peaches and oranges is far superior, sorry Tennessee purists.

Delicious Tennessee Peach Pudding INGREDIENT­S

Nonstick cooking spray 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup milk 4 cups large dice, fresh peaches, about 4-5 peaches (See Note) Pourable Topping: 1 cup peach nectar or juice 1 cup orange juice ½ each teaspoon nutmeg and ginger

INSTRUCTIO­NS

Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.

In a large bowl, blend next 4 ingredient­s together well. Beat in the milk until smooth. Stir in diced peaches until evenly mixed. Pour into prepared pan.

In another bowl, blend topping ingredient­s well. Pour over the batter evenly and bake 3540 minutes, or until the cake bounces back when touched. Remove from oven to cool slightly before serving.

Note: Use frozen peaches if desired as well.
