Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, vegetable oil, and sugar. Whisk until well blended.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
-
Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the cake and top each slice with 1/3 cup of sliced peaches before serving.

Note
For best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If using canned peaches, drain them well to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
This cake is naturally low in fat due to the use of skim milk and a small amount of oil. For a richer flavor, you can substitute the vegetable oil with melted unsalted butter.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a warm treat.
Variation: Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for enhanced aroma. You can also sprinkle a little cinnamon on top of the peaches before serving.
