Peach Cake

I was trying to come up with a dessert for our College/Career groups' hayride yesterday. I needed something fast and that used peaches (I had some in the fridge). After some searching, I found this recipe for Peach Cake on allrecipes.com. I made a few substitutions to cut down on the sugar and calories.

• 3 egg, beaten
• 1 1/4 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional, I made an oatmeal crumble and peach puree to put on top instead of putting the nuts inside the cake)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan, bundt pan, or 2 - 9" round pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, peaches and pecans. Mix thoroughly by hand.
3. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 50 minutes (9x13 pan) or until done.

I baked the 2 - 9" round pans for 45 minutes and they were just a bit over done so adjust the bake time or temperature for the size pan you use.
