Peach Cake

It's August, and that means it is time to celebrate meteor showers, the last days of summer vacation and Colorado Peaches!

If you missed it last time, make sure and check out the Whole Peach Pie Recipe posted last September  - it is the BEST!  I would have to say this peach cake from my mom easily ranks second of all peach recipes.  When I first saw it, based on the ingredients alone I couldn't image why the cake was special - but it is.  The sour cream and cinnamon must be the secret.

1 c butter
2 c sugar
4 eggs
2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 c sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
6-8 peaches - peeled and sliced
1 tsp cinnamon with 1 tsp sugar

Cream the butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time.  Sift the dry ingredients and add alternately with the sour cream and vanilla.  Mix but do not beat.  Spoon in to a greased 9x13 pan.  Top with peaches and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.  Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.  This cake astes great with a bit of whipped cream on top.

I am thinking of other peach recipes that might be good - peach salsa???  If a good peach recipe - send it my way!
