Peaches & Cream Spice Cake

Step 1

Prepare the filling: In a double boiler over water, add sugar, salt and cornstarch. Top off with boiling water and stir until thick and there are no lumps. Add butter, lemon zest and juice. Mix thoroughly. Add peaches add optional food coloring. Stir. Place in refrigerator to cool.

Step 5

To Prepare the Frosting: In your standing mixer with whisk attachment whip together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add extracts and slowly add cream. Whip continually, occasionally stopping beater to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, until frosting forms peaks. Place in refrigerator while you assemble the cake.
