Any Home Bakers Here?

Wanted to share some baking here also.
I will title this,, "PEACH CAKE"
Wanted some dessert today,, and since there was nothing for the sweet tooth,, decided to bake a cake
Going to post play by play for easy following.
Just started out the easiest way I could. I took out a Packet Cake,,, (yes @Floydie ,,, I stole your terminology. this side of the pond it is called Cake Mix.)
@Aria ,, I did not forget about you ether. I altered the recipe,,, and decided to make it in your style.. " HEALTHY" so the altered version of recipe is in this post,

In a stand mixer, I used the liquid from below can of peaches. (14.5 OZ) Note; "NO SUGAR ADDED" 3 eggs,,, and above cake mix. Mixed it well until it was creamy texture. I used the dough hook. I did kick in the speed to medium, after initial mix at slow.

Here are the baking directions from back of box.

It calls for 1 cup of water, and 1/3 cup of oil. I SKIPPED USING THAT,,, and substituted with the peach juice instead.
Poured cake batter into a pan lined with parchment. There is no oil, butter, or other shortening,, so the cake would stick like HEAVEN to the pan.
My pan is 9 inch x 12 inch. 23 cm x 30 cm.

Took the peach slices, and placed on top of dough batter.
I had some Streusel topping leftover from a previous yeast raised cake,, so decided to apply some on top.

Baked a little longer than suggested on box. I baked @350°F for 35 minutes. After 28 minutes, cake was still a little blonde,, so kept in for the extra time,, until just gently tanned. 350°F = 177°C so 180°C is probably acceptable.

Of course did not wait for cool-down. Well maybe 10 minutes, so I could lift out of pan, and place onto a cutting board.

I am pretty sure I haven't posted my Hot Fudge Mug Cake recipe. So, here it is:

Needed equipment:
1 mug that holds at least 20 oz
A plate to put under the mug in the microwave

Topping Ingredients (makes enough for 2 mug cakes):
1/8 c. Sugar
1/4 c. Packed brown sugar
4 tsp. Cocoa powder
Mix all together very well. Set aside.

Cake Ingredients:
1/4 c. Sugar
1/3 c. Flour
1 TBSP cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/8 tsp. Salt
3 TBSP. Butter, melted
1/4 c. COLD milk
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Topping mixture
1/2 c. HOT water

Into the mug, sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk in melted butter (yes, it will be clumpy) until combined.
Whisk in COLD milk and vanilla until well combined.
Smooth the top of the batter, and clean up the sides of the mug a bit.
Pour half of the topping mixture on top of the cake batter. DO NOT MIX. Smooth the topping mixture.
Pour hot water on top of the topping mixture. DO NOT MIX.
Place mug on plate and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Let cool for 3-5 minutes before eating (to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the sauce to begin to thicken).
Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe! There is a microwave mug cake recipe in the index from Bullchick. It is different though.

I haven’t posted in a while, main reason being emotional difficulties. I also have been planning and making this.

For clarification the toppings are enough for two cakes but the cake mix is enough for one?
