Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Bake the Sponge Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square pan.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 18–22 minutes until lightly golden. Let the cake cool completely.
2️⃣ Prepare the Strawberry Cream Layer
Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Slowly fold in the strawberry puree to create a light pink strawberry cream.
If you want a firmer mousse layer, dissolve gelatin in warm water and mix it into the cream.
Spread the strawberry cream evenly over the cooled sponge cake.
3️⃣ Add the Peach Layer
Spread diced peaches evenly over the strawberry cream layer.
Press them gently so they settle into the cream.
The peaches add sweet juiciness and beautiful golden color.
4️⃣ Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping
Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Spread this fluffy whipped cream layer over the peaches.
Use a spatula to create a soft textured finish, similar to the cake shown in the image.
5️⃣ Decorate the Cake
Top the cake with:
- Fresh raspberries
- Peach slices
- Mint leaves
Lightly dust powdered sugar over the top for an elegant look.
Tips for the Perfect Fruit Cream Cake
- Chill the cake for 2–3 hours before serving so the layers set properly.
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- Fresh raspberries add a bright tart contrast to the sweet cream.
- A square cake pan helps achieve the layered look seen in the image.
