Sex on the Beach Cake

At the weekend it was the birthday of a friend and I'd agreed to make her a cake. Earlier in the day I'd picked up a can of 'on the beach' (note no 'Sex') from Asda which inspired me to make a 'Sex on the Beach' type cake. I used my favourite recipe of the moment but instead of using root vegetables I instead used tinned peaches, along with a couple of fruity additions and left out the cocoa. The end result, although didn't really taste peachy, was a very moist cake that everyone enjoyed.

Sex on the Beach Cake
