square baking pan. In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together the
butter and the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add
the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and sift in the
flour, the baking powder, and the salt. Beat the batter until it is just
combined and spread it evenly in the pan. Arrange the peach slices in
slightly overlapping rows over the batter, sprinkle the topping over them,
and bake the cake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or
until a tester comes out clean. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.
