  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ pounds fresh, ripe peaches
  • 4 eggs, separated

  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (almond is also good in this)

  2. Brush butter up sides of skillet or baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle brown sugar over melted butter in bottom of pan.

  6. Melt remaining butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  7. In a mixing bowl, beat egg yolks with ½ cup white sugar.

  10. Gently fold egg white mixture into egg yolk mixture.
  11. In a large bowl, mix together cake flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg.

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
