Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Butter cake pan (I used oblong, two rounds would work)
Pour 2/3 cup melted butter into bottom of pan
Spread on top of butter 2 cups of light brown sugar
Peel and slice peaches, layer on top of brown sugar (calls for 3 cups, I'd use more next time so that the layer is thicker, the peaches shrink a little when baked)
Cream together:
2/3 c shortening
3 1/3 c sugar
4 eggs
Add
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 c milk
3 1/3 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp mapeleine (original recipe calls for 1/2 tsp almond flavoring)
Bake (350 degree oven) oblong for 60 minutes, rounds for 45 minutes
Baking time may vary depending on material of pan so keep an eye out, the top should be golden brown and a toothpick will come out clean from the cake part. If you push the toothpick in too far it will pickup the peaches/sugar mixture.
