In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the above ingredients together (except for the sliced peaches), in the order they are given and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour mixture into your prepared baking pan. Drain the juice from your peaches, (reserve the juice for the next step), and layer them on top of the batter.

Filling Ingredients:

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons peach juice (from canned peaches)

In a small mixing bowl, combine the above 3 ingredients together and then spoon on top of the batter in the baking pan to within 1″ of the edges.
