easy peach cake

This is definitely the most deliciously 'easy' cake I have ever made. I got the recipe from a co-worker and have made it several times. It takes only five ingredients and an hour to make, all of which you probably have lying around in your kitchen anyway. I bet that if you make this cake, you'll probably eat the whole thing in one day.

Easy Peach Cake
1 [or 1/2] stick of butter
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of self-rising flour
1 cup of milk [I use 2%]
1 can of sliced peaches [drained]
First, heat your oven to 375. Melt a half stick of butter [or a whole stick if you want it to be extra delicious] and pour it into the bottom of a a 9x9 pan, or similar size.

In a bowl, mix together one cup of sugar, one cup of self-rising flour and one cup of milk [I use 2%, but I'm sure whole would be delicious. I would probably stay away from skim milk though]. Pour it over the melted butter – don’t stir it, don’t try to pour it carefully, don’t mess with it at all, just dump the lumpy batter on top of the butter. 

Next, open the can of sliced peaches [or lite sliced peaches] then drain and dump them on top of the batter and butter, but don’t stir it or mess with it. Now bake the whole mess for 40-50 minutes. It’s best served warm, with a bit of [Bluebell] ice cream!
