Peach Cake
This recipe is a variation on the Peach Muffin recipe, doubled and can be used to make a tube cake.

4 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cup Brown sugar (or white sugar plus ¼ cup molasses)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
3 - 15 oz cans sliced peaches

Beat eggs and oil together. Open cans of peaches and drain juice into egg/oil mixture. Slice the peaches from the contents of one of the cans in half, lengthwise, and arrange them in the bottom of a lightly oiled tube pan. Chop the remaining 2 cans of peaches into small pieces and add to the reserved juice (along with molasses, if using). In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add contents of liquid bowl. Stir until just blended. Pour into tube pan, over the sliced peaches. Bake 45 minutes at 375 (in my convection oven).
NOTE: If using fresh peaches, peel, slice and chop them as necessary. Then cook in a syrup or equal parts water and sugar and freeze in bags until ready to use.
