Instructions
To prepare the peach layer
Toss all the ingredients for the peach layer together until well combined, then spread evenly on the bottom of a greased 9 inch square baking dish.
To prepare the cake layer
Sift together the flour and baking powder and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment in place, whisk together the egg, sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until foamy and slightly stiffened.
Mix the oil and melted butter together in a measuring cup with a spout.
Slowly add the oil and butter mixture to the egg mixture in a slow stream as the mixer continues to whisk.
Mix together the whipping cream, milk and lemon juice and add slowly to the mixing bowl continuing to mix but at a reduced speed.
Fold in the dry ingredients by hand with a rubber spatula being careful not to over mix. Don't worry about small lumps in the batter, they are fine.
Pour over the prepared peaches and bake at 350 degrees F (325 F for glass bake ware) for about 40 -50 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the cake passes the clean toothpick test.
Let stand for about 20 minutes before serving with some good vanilla ice cream or vanilla whipped cream.
