PEACH CAKE

Place in a mixing bowl Three-quarters cup of sugar, One egg, Four tablespoons of shortening, Two cups of flour, Four level tablespoons of baking powder, Three-quarters cup of water. Beat just enough to mix and then pour into a deep well-greased and floured layer-cake pan. Cover the top thickly with diced peaches and then place in a small bowl Six tablespoons of flour, Four tablespoons of sugar, Two tablespoons of shortening, One teaspoon of cinnamon. Rub between the tips of the fingers until crumbly and then spread on the top of the peaches and bake in a moderate oven for thirty minutes.
