It’s all about fruit desserts for spring.
The nice peach dessert
1/4 C butter, softened
1/2 C sugar
1 egg
3/4 C milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 C peaches, chopped
Topping Ingredients:
3/4 C sugar
4 TBS flour
2 TBS butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-inch pan. Mix together butter and sugar. Add egg and mix until smooth. Pour in milk and vanilla and combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking powder. Fold into wet ingredients until incorporated. Spread into greased pan. Top with peaches and press lightly into batter. Mix topping ingredients in a small bowl until coarse and crumbly. Sprinkle over top of peaches.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. The sugar should form a crust and the cake should be cooked through. Cool slightly before cutting and serving. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
