Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter, divided

½ cup brown sugar

1½ pounds fresh, ripe peaches

4 eggs, separated

1½ cups white sugar

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (almond is also good in this)

1 cup cake flour

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon (Saigon cinnamon is excellent)

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I usually omit this – whatever you prefer)

Directions

Place 5 tablespoons butter in a 10” skillet or 10x7 glass baking dish; melt.

Brush butter up sides of skillet or baking dish.

Sprinkle brown sugar over melted butter in bottom of pan.

Scald the peaches to easily remove the skins (place whole peaches in boiling water for a few seconds – remove – plunge them into an ice-water bath and quickly slip off the skins).

Slice the peaches and arrange them over brown sugar and butter in pan.

Melt remaining butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.

In a mixing bowl, beat egg yolks with ½ cup white sugar.

Add lemon zest, vanilla and melted butter; beat until fluffy.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until frothy, then gradually beat in remaining 1 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.

In a large bowl, mix together cake flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Gently fold combined egg mixture into flour mixture until all ingredients are incorporated into the batter.

Spoon the cake batter over the peaches.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, until cakes tests done.

Remove skillet or baking dish from oven and immediately invert cake onto serving platter.

Absolutely GREAT recipe! I think I'll try it with the almond extract as I've never before combined the flavors of peach and almond. Thanks. Helene

Krummie - Oy vey. With you around it is impossible to be skinny. I will have to settle for aspiring to be stinking rich instead.
