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. |
