We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Gratitude produces deep, abiding joy because we know that God is working in us, even through difficulties.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 lb Large; ripe freestone peaches, (5 or 6 peaches)
2/3 c Sugar
2 tb Unsalted butter
1 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
1 tb Canola oil
1 lg Egg
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Almond extract
1/2 c Low-fat buttermilk

INSTRUCTIONS

Fresh peaches make a refreshing change from canned pineapple in this
tempting cake. Peaches canned in natural fruit juice can be used if fresh
are not available. A small amount of butter in the cake is used where it
has the greatest flavor impact: It is melted with sugar to form a
caramel-like glaze on the peaches. This delicious cake was made lower in
calories and fat by:
* reducing the amount of butter from 3/4 cup to 2 tablespoons * replacing
the whole milk with low-fat buttermilk * using fresh or unsweetened canned
peaches in place of peaches canned in sugar
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
Score the stem end of each peach and place the peaches in the boiling
water. Boil for about 1 minute, or until the skins soften. Transfer to a
bowl of cold water to cool, then peel, halve and pit the peaches. In a
9-inch cast-iron skillet, combine 1/3 cup of the sugar with 1 tablespoon of
the butter. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sugar
begins to melt. Add the peaches to the skillet, cut-side up, in one layer
(the fruit should fit tightly). Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon
and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the remaining
1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon butter with the oil until combined. Add the
egg, beating until smooth, then beat in the vanilla and almond extract.
With the mixer at low speed, add the buttermilk and the reserved flour
mixture, beating until just incorporated. Spoon the batter evenly over the
peaches in the skillet, place the skillet in the oven and bake, uncovered,
for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of
the cake comes out clean. Transfer the skillet to a wire rack to cool for 3
to 4 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife. Invert the cake
onto a serving plate. If any of the peaches stick to the skillet, remove
them with a knife and replace them on the cake.
Makes 8 servings.
