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:
• whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°; butter the bottom of a 2-quart casserole.

2. Make the cake layer—in a big bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar.

3. 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.

4. The mixture will be thick and lumpy; spread batter into prepared casserole dish.

5. Make the filling—in a big bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, and boiling water; pour over batter in the pan.

6. Dot the top with the 1 tablespoon butter.

7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the batter that bubbles up through the filling is golden.

8. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.
