PEACH CAKE

---

Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional

1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
powdered sugar


Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°. Beat eggs well;
add 2 cups sugar and the oil, beating until well blended. Combine flour, salt,
and baking powder; beat into egg and oil mixture alternating with orange juice.
Blend in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peaches (and
pecans, if using) with 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Pour about one-third of
the batter into a greased, and floured tube pan. Layer one-half peach mixture
over it. Cover with another one-third of batter and the remaining peach mixture.
Spread remaining batter over the last layer. Bake at 350° for 60 minutes, or
until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake
10 minutes in pan; turn out onto a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
