Ingredients

1 1⁄2	tablespoons reduced-calorie margarine, melted
2	peach slices in juice, drained
1⁄4	cup reduced-calorie margarine
1⁄4	cup sugar
2	tablespoons sugar
2	eggs, at room temperature
1	teaspoon vanilla extract
1⁄4	teaspoon almond extract
1 1⁄2	all-purpose flour
2	teaspoons baking powder
1⁄4	teaspoon salt

Instructions

• 1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Take the melted reduced-calorie margarine and pour it into an 8 x 8 x 2" baking pan, ensuring the bottom and sides are evenly coated.
  2. Next, arrange the peach slices in the bottom of the pan. In a food processor, place the remaining reduced-calorie margarine and process for 10 seconds. Add in the sugar and pulse for another 20 seconds. Incorporate the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and 2 tablespoons of water into the mixture; process for an additional 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the work bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Pulse until a thick batter forms.
  3. Carefully spread the batter evenly over the peaches in the pan.
  4. Bake the cake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack for 2 minutes. Then, using a metal spatula, loosen the edges and invert the cake onto a serving plate.
