Coffee cakes are one of my favorite things to make - so homey somehow!

2 1/3 cups flour

3 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 1/3 cups sugar

14-oz. can evaporated milk

3/4 tsp. salt

1/3 cup lemon juice

3/4 cup shortening

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

1 29-oz. can sliced peaches, well-drained

3/4 cup milk

1 cup chopped nuts

2 eggs

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

In large bowl, mix flour, sugar & salt. Cut in shortening till crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of mixture. To the rest of the crumb mixture add baking powder, milk, eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Spread into greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes, just until set. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add evaporated milk; stir in lemon juice, peaches, and half of the nuts and cinnamon.

In another bowl, combine reserved crumbs and remaining nuts, cinnamon and brown sugar. Spoon peach mixture on top of cake and sprinkle crumb mixture on top. Bake 35 minutes longer at 350 degrees F. or until set.
