Melt the
butter and spread evenly around the sides and bottom of an 11" x
13½" cake pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar all over the butter. Peel
the peaches and cut in half. To each peach cavity add 1/4 slice lemon or
cherry and place upside down in the sugar.
Beat the egg whites until fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of
the sugar and beat until the eggs hold firm peaks. In another bowl,
cream the butter and add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until
light. Combine and sift the flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat these
dry ingredients and the milk alternately into the butter-sugar mixture,
beating well after each addition. Fold in the egg whites and the
vanilla. Pour the batter over the peaches, and bake in a preheated 350° F. oven for
60 minutes. Remove and cool for 10 minutes. Take a knife blade around
sides of the cake to loosen and reverse it onto a serving tray.
