1 cup all-purpose flour Sister's Note: A sprinkling of orange juice or lemon juice will keep sliced fresh peaches from turning brown. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen sliced peaches, thawed, may be used. Press the thawed peach slices between paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch springform pan; set aside. Combine first 3 ingredients; set aside. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Arrange peaches over batter; sprinkle peaches with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until edges of cake are golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove sides of pan. Serve warm. Yield: one 9-inch coffee cake. © 1996 by Oxmoor House, Inc. |
