Summer peach cake

This cake is a kind of yummy science experiment 😉 The key factor is the temperature change.

The final result is a fresh, fruity and super creamy cake that will be perfect for a summer birthday party or a special treat for your toddler. After the first indulgent and light spoon you will ask yourself how such a creamy cake can be made without whipped or heavy cream 😉

We are going to use only regular milk, nothing else!! The trick is how we separate the ingredients and mix them together at different temperatures and the overnight refrigeration. That will create three layers in the cake. A sponge base, a creamy center and a fluffy light top.

I used some peaches from the Farmer’s Market, but you can switch with any other seasonal fruit with a bit of juicy pulp that you will find (plums, berries, figs, apricots)
