Ingredients

Cake:

  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup sugar (200 g)
  • 1-¼ cup self-rising flour (156.25 g)
  • ½ cup sugar (100 g)

Filling:

  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon low fat powdered milk
  • 1 sliced canned peaches (280g /9.8 oz)

Instructions

  • Half an hour before making the cakes: separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and allow them to stand at room temperature. In a big mixing bowl beat with an electric mixer the egg yolks for 5 minutes on high. Add the vanilla and almond extracts, and milk; beat on low until combined. Gradually beat in the 1 cup of sugar at low speed (add 2 tablespoons at a time). Increase to high speed; beat until mixture thickens and doubles in volume (about 5 minutes).
  • Sprinkle ¼ cup of flour over the egg yolk mixture and fold until combined. Repeat with the rest of the flour, using only ¼ cup of flour at a time. Set aside.
  • Wash the beaters well. In a large mixing bowl beat the egg whites until soft peaks form (about 3 minutes). Gradually add the ½ cup of sugar, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 cup of the beaten egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture; add the remaining egg white mixture and fold again. Pour into 2 un-greased 9.5x1-¾-inch round cake pans.
  • Bake at 325°F/162.7°C for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool thoroughly and loosen sides of cake from pan and remove from pan.
  • For the filling: In a medium mixing bowl beat the cream, sugar and powdered milk until firm peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble, place a cake layer on a cake plate. Poke the cake with a fork. Pour 4 tablespoons of peach syrup. Add a layer of peaches, making sure you cover the whole cake. Add a layer of cream (about ¾ of the cream) (I used Wilton 2D tip). Top with the remaining cake layer. Pour 4 tablespoons of syrup. Spread a thin layer of cream. If desired, pipe some cream on the cake. Add some peaches.
