Ingredients
- Cake Layer:
- 4 tablespoons butter (plus extra for the dish)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- Filling:
- 8 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Serve with:

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°; butter the bottom of a 2-quart casserole.
-
Make the cake layer—in a big bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar.
-
In another small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the butter mixture with a wooden spoon, and then stir in the milk.
-
The mixture will be thick and lumpy; spread batter into prepared casserole dish.
-
Make the filling—in a big bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, and boiling water; pour over batter in the pan.
-
Dot the top with the 1 tablespoon butter.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the batter that bubbles up through the filling is golden.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
