Actually, it's more of a cake than a pie, but whatever you call it, it's awesome. This cake is incredible- refreshing, sweet, moist, a perfect mix of sugar & fruit. The soft cake has fresh sliced peaches mixed in, and cinnamon sugar topping. It tastes wonderful with a little peach ice cream... ideally from a place called Four Seas in Cape Cod :-)
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon rind
- 2 eggs
- 7/8 cup (or 1 cup minus 2 Tablespoons) sifted flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups of peaches (fresh sliced and peeled, or canned)
Instructions:
