Hot Peach Sponge

· 3 c. (14 oz.) canned peach slices in natural juice
· 4 Tbsp. butter
· ¼ c. brown sugar
· 1 egg, beaten
· ¼ c. whole-wheat flour
· ¼ c. all-purpose flour
· 1 tsp. baking powder
· ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
· ¼ c. skim milk
· ½ tsp. vanilla extract
· 2 tsp. powdered sugar
· Optional: low-fat ready-to-serve custard

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Drain peaches and place in an 8x8 square dish, or divide into 4 ramekins.
2. Put all the remaining ingredients, except the powdered sugar, into a mixing bowl. Beat for 3-4 minutes, until well combined.
3. Spoon the sponge mix over the peaches and level the top evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until springy to the touch.
4. Lightly dust the top with powdered sugar before serving hot with the custard.
5. As an optional topping, you can blend 1 tsp. arrowroot with 1 Tbsp. peach juice in a small saucepan. Stir in the remaining peach juice from the can and simmer for 1 minute.

Thanks for putting this blog together! It is nice to have someone else try the recipe and let us all know if/that it was good. You and your hubby are brave guinea pigs for us all. Thanks!
