1 c butter
1 egg
1/2 c sugar
2 c flour
2 tsps baking powder
pinch if salt

Cream butter and sugar together. Add the beaten egg. Add sifted dry ingredients. Take out enough for topping - 3 cookie-sized balls. Press into a 10" or 11" springform pan.

Filling:
1 28 oz can of peaches
2 small packages of cooked chocolate pudding (can use mousse)

Make pudding/mousse per instructions. Drain the peaches and line the bottom of the pan. Cover with the pudding/mousse. Flatten out the dough balls and arrange on the top in a pleasing manner. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes. Serve garnished with whipped cream or creme fraiche. This is good still warm from the oven or cold.
