"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Assemble the cake

Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
Preheat oven to 350 ºF
In a large bowl cream together ½ cup butter and the ½ cup sugar.
Blend in the egg, almond extract, and sour cream.
Mix in 1 ½ cups of flour and the baking powder.
Spread the dough in the prepared pan.

Mix together the topping

In a small bowl mix the ¼ cup softened butter, ¼ cup of sugar, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of flour, the cloves, and cinnamon.
Sprinkle half of the topping over the cake dough, place the peach slices over the entire surface, and sprinkle the remaining topping to cover the Kuchen.

Bake on the center rack in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
Check the cake with a toothpick at 30 minutes and if it comes out with crumbs on it, it's done.

The Kuchen can be served right out of the oven, but if you let it sit for two to three hours before serving, the clove flavor becomes more mild and all the flavors are melded nicely.
Leftovers should be refrigerated in an air-tight container.

Personal Notes:
You may substitute the peaches for plums, pears, or blueberries. Also frozen peaches work great, but defrost the peaches first so they cook enough to break down and soften.

If you want to serve the Kuchen immediately, I would reduce the cloves to 1/8 teaspoon but would not leave them out.
