Description
A light, fluffy, 3-ingredient sponge cake with fresh peaches and cream filling, topped with a cloud of whipping cream.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the cake:
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Ingredients for the cream:
- 1 pkg of cream cheese (8oz/250grams)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 2 cups diced fresh peaches (you can also use canned)
- 1 sliced peach
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9″ round pans and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on high for about 6 minutes until light and fluffy, or until tripled in volume.
- Sift in 1/3 of the flour at a time and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix as you want to keep as much of the volume as possible.
- Divide the batter into the 2 prepared baking pans and bake for about 22-25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let cool completely before frosting.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add the whipping cream and continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
- Mix 1 cup of the whipped cream with the diced peaches and spread overtop of one of the cakes. Place the 2nd cake on top and pour the remaining whipped cream overtop and decorate with sliced peaches.
