Peach Dessert Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

1 cup shortening

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

4 eggs, unbeaten

6 large peeled and sliced peaches

Topping

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup walnuts

In a large bowl, add sugar and shortening and mix until light. Add lemon rind and eggs (one at a time), beating until light and creamy. Add flour mixture in fourths, beating after each addition until well mixed. Spread 1/2 batter into greased 11 x 9 x 2 inch pan and arrange peaches on batter. Spread remaining batter over peaches.

Combine 2/3 cup sugar, cinnamon and walnuts and sprinkle all over cake. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes (time depends on oven).  Serve warm with or without cream, whipped cream, or ice cream.  Good also at room temperature.
