I had plans for making an eggnog cake. I’m not much of a baker, as I don’t much care for following instructions. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but the cake refused to come out of the pan … and we had guests arriving in about an hour.
So I improvised. Why trifle with a difficult dessert when you can just layer some canned peaches, cake pieces, and homemade whipped cream. I topped it off with some toasted pecans. I think it ended up better than the cake would have. The best part is that this dessert can be made with any number of fruits, and various types of cake.
