  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/3 cup shortening

How To Make peach praline shortcake

  • Step 1
    Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in pecans.
  • Step 2
    Combine the milk and egg; stir with a wire whisk until blended. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until blended. Pour the batter into a greased 9 inch round cakepan.
  • Step 3
    Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes; remove from the pan, and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Step 4
    Split the warm cake in half horizontally to make 2 layers. Place one layer, cut side up, on a cake plate; spoon half of the peaches over the layer. Place the remaining cake layer, cut side down, on top of the peaches. Spoon the remaining peaches on top of the cake.
  • Step 5
    Combine the sour cream and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Serve the sour cream mixture with the cake.
