- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms with wax paper and butter the paper; dust the pans with flour.
- Cream the 3/4 c. butter and sugars in a mixing bowl. Add in the Large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla, lemon zest and juice.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; add in to mix in the bowl, alternating with buttermilk, to make batter.
- Scrape batter into the pans. Bake till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 min. Cold the cakes in their pans on a rack for 15 min, then turn them out onto the rack, peel off wax paper and cold completely.
- Shortly before serving, peel, pit and slice the peaches. Toss with lemon juice and 1 Tbsp. sugar; set aside for 15 min.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla and the remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp. of sugar till it holds soft peaks.
- Place one cake on a serving platter; spread with half the cream, then half the peaches. Cover with second cake, spread with most of the remaining cream and top with remaining peaches. Top with a dollop of cream and, if you like, a mint sprig. Serve immediately, with the Raspberry Melba Sauce on the side or possibly drizzled over the cake.
- This recipe yields 10 servings.
- Comments: I line the buttered pans with buttered wax paper, then flour them, to make unmolding the cakes easy after baking.
