Whipped cream to garnish

Directions:

• In an empty bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and egg until smooth; set aside.
• In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix according to box instructions using the water, vegetable oil and add eggs.
• In a buttered cast iron skillet, pour half of the cake batter in and evenly spread it.
• Then drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese filling on top of the batter and carefully spread it over the batter.
•  Arrange the peaches over the cream cheese filling, then add the rest of the batter.
