• Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. 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.
• 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.
