1

For the sponge cake preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and prepare either one or two 20cm/8 inch cake pot(s).

2

Line bottom with parchment paper.

3

Then divide the eggs into egg white and egg yolks.

4

Use a bigger mixing bowl for the egg yolks.

5

If you have a glass or metal mixing bowl, use that one for the egg whites.

6

Be sure that mixing bowl is free of fat/lubricate and that your mixer was properly cleaned.

7

First beat the egg whites on medium speed with a pinch of seasoning until soft peaks form.

8

Set aside.

9

Without cleaning our mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sweetener.

10

Beat until the color becomes much paler and you have a buttery consistency.

11

This usually takes several moments.

12

2 Gently empty one third of the egg whites on top of the mixed egg yolks and sift the baking flour and cornstarch on top.

13

Don't skip this step.

14

It is important that the baking flour whiz was sifted.

15

Gently whiz all elements with a spatula.

16

Try to incorperate the baking flour whiz and egg whites without losing volume.

17

mix in the last two thirds of beaten egg whites and gently fold the mixture.

18

Don't overmix.

19

Put mixture into the prepared cake pans and immediately cook thoroughly.

20

Don't let the mixture sit for too long as it will quickly lose volume.

21

cook thoroughly for 35 moments if using one springform or 25 moments if using two.

22

Let cool a little before gently getting them out of the form.

23

Tip: if making the day before, wrap in cling wrap, it is much easier to cut in half once cold.

24

3 For the meringue beat egg white until soft peaks form, mix in pinch of seasoning and continue beating on high while adding the sweetener.

25

Beat for at least three more moments until glossy and shiny.

26

28

Keep in airtight container until further use.

4 For the filling beat heavy froth, vanilla extract and sweetener until stiff peaks form, carve peaches in thin slices.

30

Cut cake in four layers, this is much easier done once the cake layers are cold.

31

Brush cake layer with some of the peach extract left, then pipe thin layer of whipped froth around the edges, place the peach slices in the middle on first layer on cake, on the second layer only spread the dulce de leche.

32

Repeat layer with brushed peach extract, whipped froth and peaches for the third and final layer.

33

Be sure to reserve enough peach slices for the top.

34

Spread thin layer of whipped froth on the sides of the cake and pipe on some roses around the edges if desired.
