    Lemon Peach Anis Pizzele w Choc UD cake

    Sometimes you will get some cake mix and damaged cookies
    from the food bank. This week I got a bag of Italian 'Pizzelle' cookies that were semi-crushed, so I decided to incorporate them into an UPSIDE DOWN cake layer with other products from the food bank.


    List of Ingredients


    • Package Lemon cake loaf mix (needed)
    • Bran Flakes (needed)
    • Cocoa (needed)
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar (needed)
    • Can of Peaches (needed)
    • 2 Cherry fruit bottom yogurts (needed)
    • 1 cup crushed Anis flavoured 'Pizzelle' italian cookies (needed)
    • water
    • 2 eggs (needed)
    • Vegetable oil (needed)


    Instructions


    1. Add 1 cup bran flakes to a small bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of cocoa, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup water, toss cereal around as if mixing for breakfast to ensure all flakes get soaked in a chocolate coating, and set aside.
    2. Prepare lemon cake mix according to instructions, but replace some of the water in the recipe with the juice from a tin of peaches.
    3. In a small frypan, place 3 tbs margarine or butter, and 1 cup sugar. Heat until melted and add peaches with any minor amount of remaining juice from the can.


    4. Open two fruit bottom 'cherry' yoghurts, scooping out yoghurt mixture carefully and putting aside white yoghurt for other recipes (such as baked potato topping). Add the 'fruit bottom' layer to the frypan and the peaches and mix thoroughly on medium heat. Let mixture simmer to reduce slightly.
    5. Drop soaked bran flake mixture into the bowl of cake batter and fold in gently.
    6. Butter the bottom of a 9" springform pan, or layer with
      wax paper. Cover bottom with an entire layer of crushed Pizzelles, then 'top' with the peaches, pressing them gently into the pizzelles so that they just touch bottom. Pour mixture from frypan over entire layer to ensure pizzelle layer is soaked.
    7. Pour cake mix onto peach/pizzelle layer, cover and let soak in for about 1/2 an hour.
    8. Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick put in center pulls out dry.
    9. Let cool slightly, then remove from springform pan and flip upside down. Serve with whipped cream or other available toppings (if available).
