- Ingredients
- 1 box Cake mixture (prepared per manufacturers instructions)
- 1 box spice cake mix (prepared per manufacturers instructions)
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 2 cups canned, sliced Peaches (drained)
- 1 cup slivered almonds

Preparation steps
1.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 9 inch round springform pan.
2.
Fill two large pastry bags, fitted with large round tips (about 3/4 inches (2 cm) in diameter), one with the spice cake batter and the other with the white batter. Pipe a 1/4 inch high layer of the spice cake batter, covering the bottom of the pan. Smooth out with a cake spatula. Pipe a 1/4 inch layer of the white cake batter, covering the spice cake batter. Smooth again with a cake spatula. Pipe another 1/4 inch layer of the spice cake batter, covering all but a 1 inch ring around the outside. Quickly fill the 1 inch area with white cake batter. Then pipe another 1/4 inch layer of white cake batter. Smooth out with a cake spatula. Pipe a final 1/4 inch layer of the spice cake batter, covering all but a 2 inch ring around the outside. Quickly fill the 2 inch area with white cake batter. There will be batter leftover.
3.
Bake 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before removing from pan.
4.
Transfer cake from the springform pan bottom to a cake plate. Cover top and sides of cake with whipped cream and garnish with peaches. Sprinkle top and sides with slivered almonds. Garnish with mint leaves.
