    Recipe Introduction


    Makes 2 cakes, serving 4 to 6 each

    List of Ingredients




    1 3/4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour (divided use)

    1/4 cup sugar

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 package active dry yeast

    2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

    1/2 cup hot water (120 degrees to 130 degrees)

    1 egg

    TOPPING:

    1 1/2 to 2 cups peeled, sliced peaches

    3 tablespoons sugar

    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1/2 cup apricot jam

    1 drop red food coloring

    Recipe



    In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix 1/2 cup flour, sugar, salt and undissolved yeast. Beat in butter or margarine. Gradually add water; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.

    Add egg and 1/2 cup flour or enough to make a thick batter. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour.

    Spread batter evenly into two greased 9-inch round pans or one 9-inch square pan.

    Arrange peaches on batter. Sprinkle with combined sugar and cinnamon. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from draft, until double in bulk, about 1 hour.

    Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Heat apricot jam in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat. Add food coloring; brush on warm peach cakes.
