Peaches

pie
cake
torte?

lets just stick with 'thing'

thing works.

so this is a Peach Thing

that is delish!

i found the recipe here at Whitneyinchicago and modified it a bit.

i've seen this exact recipe on a couple of different sites, and it's one that works for me since it's low on the dairy and high on the simplicity.

Technically it's called Peach Tea Cake.

and it's dang good.

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 sticks of butter
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, mix the following or the filling:

• 4 sliced peaches
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean
• 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
2. Cream the sugar & butter until light and fluffy
3. Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract
4. While mixing, slowly add the flour mixture and stir just until smooth dough forms.
5. Preheat the oven to 375F and pat a portion of the dough into the bottom of pie or casserolle dish. i sprayed it with butter flavored non-stick spray, but you could use pats of butter instead. The bottom layer of the dough should be about an inch thick & it should go up the side of the dish just a bit.
6. Pour the peaches on top of the dough in the dish & spread it evenly.
7. Use he remainder of the dough in spoonfull size portions & cover the peaches
8. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

This came out really well & my daughter loved it so it's definitely a keeper!
