When I was growing up, on Sundays, my parents might stop at our favorite local bakery for all sorts of treats. One of my favorites is their peach cake. I had some beautiful peaches at home and while this cake is not the same as the version I love, it's got all the same tastes and delights as the original. I still recommend going to the bakery if you are in the neighborhood, because some of their items are a must have!
Prepare the peaches:2 c sliced, peeled peaches
2/3 c sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 lemon, juice and zest
3 tbsp clarified butter
Combine the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl. In a well greased deep 8 in cake dish or pie plate, line slices of peaces along the bottom of the plate. Pour the clarified butter over the layer of peaches.
Sift together:
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Beat together:
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp clarified butter
1/4 c milk
Combine wet and dry ingredients until blended. Do not over mix the batter. Pour the batter on top of the peaches to cover. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cake is firm and golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes and then invert onto a platter.
