The yummiest cake ever!

I recently ate the BEST cake I have ever had (that I made myself). I learned some new tricks that I'd like to share along with the recipe.

Cake:
1 yellow cake mix (don't judge, I didn't say it was from scratch :) made according to package directions
1 vanilla pudding mix

Bake according to package directions in two round pans


Filling:
1-2 fresh peaches (yum) either chopped real small or blended or some of both (with a little sugar to taste)


Frosting:
1  pkg cream cheese softened
1 tub of cool whip
1/8-1/4 tsp almond extract (to taste)

Topping:
Fresh peach and pineapple slices

How to put it together (might be obvious, but just in case):

Let the cakes cool for a bit (ten mins?) in the pan then on a cooling rack for about an hour. Then frost the top of one of the cakes just enough to cover it (so the filling doesn't make the cake soggy) then put the peach topping on and spread it all over but stay about a 1/2 in away from the edges so it doesn't ooze everywhere. Then frost the bottom of the other cake just to cover (I hate soggy cake) and put it atop the first cake. Then cover them all over with frosting as thick or thin as you'd like. I personally like it about 1/16-1/8 in thick. And lastly, top them all pretty like with your sliced peaches and pineapple. Get prepared to gobble it up!
