A hearty filled cake, erupting with enough energy to handle almost any emergency.

Recipe Ingredients: 
  • Batter:
  • Mix dry ingredient first
  • 2 cups instant pancake mix (box will read: just add water) like Krusteaz, Bisquick, Aunt Jemima etc.
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons powdered coffee creamer
  • ½ cup apple juice
  • ½ cup peach syrup (saved from canned peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • Filling:
  • Mix dry ingredient first
  • 1 ½ cups granola (I used granola with raisins, honey and almonds)
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 can diced peaches (save syrup for batter)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • ¼ cup apple juice
Directions: 
  1. Pour the thick batter into oiled 1 ½-quart loaf baking dish.
  2. Spread filling on top of batter. It will move into the center when baking, like subduction in plate tectonics. Actually fun to watch when there is no TV in an emergency situation.
  3. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done.
  4. Allow to cool, slice, and enjoy its earth-shaking goodness!
Cooking Tips: 

A dutch oven over a fire could be used, but will need frequent checking due to fluctuations in cooking temperatures.
