Dutch Peach Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 med. sized peaches
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup sugar

Put peaches in bowl. Cover with boiling water. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer peaches with slotted spoon to a boil of cold water. Peel and slice peaches thinly.

Sprinkle with lemon juice to keep from darkening. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal. Beat egg and milk together. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until dough is blended.

Spread dough in pan. Press peach slices into dough in rows. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top. Drizzle top with butter (11 by 7 by 2 inch pan).

Bake 30 to 35 minutes at 400 degrees.
