Peach Pound Cake

My sister Shauri introduced us to this delectable delight.  I'll tell you what, it takes a good dessert for me to recommend it when there is no chocolate involved.  But here it is:

Ingredients

1 c plus 2 T butter

2 1/4 c sugar

4 eggs

1 t vanilla

3 c flour

1 t baking powder

1/2 t salt

2 c chopped fresh peaches

Instructions

Preheat oven at 325 degrees.  Grease a tube pan with the 2 T of butter.  Sprinkle pan with 1/4 c sugar.  

Cream remaining butter; gradually add remaining sugar, beating well.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla and mix well.

Combine 2 3/4 c flour, baking powder, and salt.  Gradually add to creamed mixture, beating until well-blended.

Dredge peaches with remaining 1/4 c flour.  Fold peaches into batter.  Pour batter into prepared pan.  Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. (I used 2 loaf pans)

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and warm butterscotch sauce.
