- Pour into a deep 9 inch cake pan, then lay the peach slices over it in attractive concentric circles.
- To make the cake, sift together the flour,baking powder, baking soda, ginger,cinnamon,cloves, and salt.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
- Stir in the molasses and vanilla.
- The batter may look curdled-don't worry!
- Add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Spread the batter over the peaches in the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then invert to finish cooling.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream on the side, if desired.
- Note: to easily peel a peach,dip it in boiling water for about 25 seconds. The skin will easily slip off.
