Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius). Grease and flour an 8 cake pan (20 centimeter). A spring form pan is my recommendation.
- In a medium bowl mix together peaches and sugar set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour sugar baking powder and salt add butter using a pastry blender or fork combine to form a crumbly mixture add the egg and continue to mix only until still crumbly.
- Add approximately 2/3 of the crumbly mixture to the cake pan spoon peach mixture on top and sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes or until lightly golden on top. Let cool. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- An easier way to cut in butter is to first place the butter in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes then grate it directly into the bowl stir with a fork and there you have a crumbed mixture.
