Food Friday - It's the Cat's Meow!

Let's just say that this recipe is the cat's meow. And because I love to store worthless information in my brain that takes the place of more worthwhile information, I just had to look up the saying "the cat's meow." The phrase "cat's meow" means it's just too good for words. (per Wikipedia which we all know has the correct answer for every question in the universe). Apparently, it originated in the 1920's with other cat-related sayings such as "cat's pajamas" and "cool cat." Aren't you glad you came by today?

So since this recipe is truly too good for words, I'll just leave it with you.

Peach Pound Cake

What you need:

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 10 inch tube pan and coat with white sugar.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla. Reserve 1/4 cup of flour for later, and sift together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Use the reserved flour to coat the chopped peaches, then fold the floured peaches into the batter. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
