🍑Peach and Cream Cheese Cake

Share

This peach and cream cheese cake is a moist, three-layer dessert with a light cream cheese flavor and juicy peach pieces from canned peaches.

The cake bakes quickly in about 15 minutes while you prepare a simple cream cheese filling from just three ingredients.

After soaking with peach syrup and chilling in the fridge, all the flavors come together beautifully.

Perfect for family gatherings or serving guests!

 Ingredients

Sponge Cake

• 5 eggs
• 90 g flour (all-purpose)
• 120 g sugar
• 50 ml oil (sunflower or grape seed)
• 4 g baking powder
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Filling

• 250 g cream cheese
• 100 g powdered sugar
• 2 peaches from syrup (4 halves), finely chopped

To Serve

• Peach syrup from the can
• Powdered sugar for dusting

 Instructions

1. Prepare the Sponge Cake Batter

1. Separate egg yolks from whites.
2. Beat egg yolks with 50 g of sugar until thick and voluminous (about 5 minutes).
3. Whip egg whites with the remaining 70 g sugar in three portions until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the yolks into the egg whites with a spatula.
5. In a separate bowl, mix flour with baking powder and salt.
6. Add dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
7. Mix in the oil along with about 4 tbsp of batter, then combine everything gently.

2. Bake

1. Pour the batter into a rectangular pan lined with baking paper and smooth the top.
2. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C (320 °F) for about 15 minutes — don’t overbake to keep the cake soft.

3. Make the Filling

1. Chop the peaches into small cubes.
2. Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar briefly.
3. Fold in the peach pieces with a spatula.

4. Assemble the Cake

1. Remove the baked cake from the pan and cut it horizontally into three even layers.
2. Brush the first layer with peach syrup, then spread half the filling on top.
3. Repeat with the second layer.
4. Cover with the top cake layer.

 Chill & Serve

Cover the assembled cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour — this softens the cake perfectly and helps the flavors to develop. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar.

 Storage

Store in the fridge, covered, for a few days to keep it moist and fresh.
