I love cooking in my iron skillet, so when i ran across this recipe while thumbing through an old cookbook, i just could not resist giving it a try.

Preheat oven to 350f.

Add eggs , and blend.

Next add the flour , baking powder , salt and milk and blend until creamy.

Add vanilla flavoring and blend.

Spread batter on top of peaches and set pan on top of cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour.

Allow to cool for about 5 minutes , then run a knife along the edges of the skillet to loosen.

Place cake plate on top of skillet and invert , allowing cake to drop out of the skillet.
