directions
- Combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; stir well. Cut in 1/4 cup butter with a pastry blender until topping mixture is crumbly. Cover and chill. This will be your topping.
- Combine 1/3 cup sugar, tapioca, and nutmeg in a large heavy saucepan; stir well. Stir in peaches and lemon juice. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened and bubbly. Spoon into a greased 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside and keep warm.
- Combine sour cream and soda in a small bowl; stir well. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Beat 1/4 cup butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until fluffy; gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg, beating well. Add the sour cream mixture and vanilla, stirring until blended.
- Combine 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Mix at low speed just until blended. Spoon the batter over the warm peach mixture. Sprinkle the chilled topping mixture over the batter.
- Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

Love this type of old fashioned classic cake! I used nectarines in place of the peaches due to availability, otherwise followed as noted. The "peaches/nectarines" came out so tasty in this cake which made it a perfect partner to serve with vanilla ice cream! Thank you, Breezer for sharing. Made it for FYC.
