Peach Shortcake, Sweet

Three eggs; one cup of sugar; two cups of flour; one tablespoon of butter; one teaspoon of baking powder. Rub the butter and sugar together until smooth, beat the eggs light, and add them to the butter and sugar. Mix the baking powder with the flour, pass through a sieve at least twice and stir into the other mixture. Butter three deep tin plates, place the dough in them, and bake for twenty minutes. Cut the peaches in small pieces and sweeten. Spread a layer of the fruit on one of the cakes, lay over this another cake, cover this also with peaches, and then add the third cake. The top may be spread with fruit or with a meringue made of the beaten white of one egg and one tablespoon of powdered sugar.
