Old-Fashioned Peach Cake


Old fashioned peach cake

This is a revived, classic World War II recipe that uses canned peaches. This recipe is not fancy, although it is peachy-delicious. It's very similar to a peach cobbler but even better. When the classic peach cake is completely cooled, sugar-free powdered Splenda (substitute) is sprinkled over the top of the cake.


Ingredients:

  • 1 large can of (no sugar added) halved peaches, and the peach juice (sliced peaches can also be used)

  • 1/3 cup shortening

  • 3/4 cup Splenda

  • 2 eggs, beaten well

  • 1 ½ cups of self-rising flour

  • 1/2 cup of milk (Vanilla flavored oat milk works great in this recipe.)

  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla

  • Powdered Splenda (or powdered sugar, for dusting the cake)

Instructions:

First, start by preheating the oven to 350ºF. Then butter a square cake pan generously.

Add the peaches and the peach juice to a saucepan, and heat for two minutes; just until the peach juice starts getting bubbly. 

Next, use a large spoon to spread the peaches and the juice onto the bottom of the buttered cake pan.

 

Next, in a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and Splenda together, with a mixer. Then add in the eggs, and blend well. Next, incorporate the flour, milk, and vanilla into the mixture.


When the cake batter is thoroughly mixed, pour it over the peaches. Bake in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes. The cake will be lightly golden, and springy when completely baked. Place on a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely. Sprinkle the powdered Splenda (substitute) over the top of the cake after it has cooled.

American pokeweed

American pokeweed  American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
