Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Blend together cake mix, eggs, oil, peach nectar and food coloring until well combined. Fold in the peaches. Turn batter into a lightly sprayed 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for about 28 minutes, or until done Check with a wooden toothpick, it should come out without batter clinging to it, but moist crumbs are fine.
Put butter, cream and brown sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Take off the heat; add vanilla and sifted sugar; whisk until well blended and little lumps of sugar have disappeared. Place it back on a low heat, if necessary.
Carefully pour the frosting over the cake, trying to get it evenly coated on the first try, because it will set up quickly and then you won't be able to spread it without cracking the surface.
Allow the frosting to harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator before cutting.
Serve.

*Nectarines can be substituted for the peaches, if desired.
