Peach Chiffon Cake

Today I was exploring some of the blogs & I bumped into a very……. ( I don’t have words to explain )  great  blog , named Table for 2 …or more .

Her recipes & pictures are sooo good , it really made me hungry . But 1 recipe just hit on the right space , it was this Peach Chiffon Cake .

Immediately I went in to my Pantry & checked for all the ingredients , luckily I had everything , except tinned Peaches . In her recipe She had used tinned Peaches & in my home I had only fresh ones . So I taught to give a try with the fresh one .  ( Sometimes fresh Peaches will not give a lot of flavour , I don’t know why its like that ) .

Ingredients : To make Peach Purée

2 Fresh Peach , sliced

Sugar

Juice of a 1/2 Lemon

Using a blender make a smooth paste of Peach .

( If needed , add some Water )

Strain the liquid nicely , to avoid any skins .

Store this in an air tight container & keep it cool .

Ingredients : To make Peach Chiffon Cake

1/2cup + 1tbsp Flour

1/4tsp Baking Powder

Pinch of Salt

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl & keep it on a side .

4 Egg Yolks

1/4cup Oil

5tbsp Peach Purée

2tbsp Sugar

On a big bowl beat all the ingredients together & fold in the Flour mixture .

Meanwhile :

4 Egg Whites

1/4cup Sugar

1/4tsp Cream of Tartar

Using a Hand beater / Stand Mixer , beat the Egg Whites until its stiff .

( Cream of Tartar will help the Egg whites to hold , if You don’t have Cream of Tartar use 1tsp Lemon juice )

Carefully fold in the Egg white to the Batter .

Pour the batter into a greased & parchment lined baking tin & bake on a 350 degree pre-heated Oven for about 20-25 min or until the cake is fully cooked .

Allow it to cool down & serve according to Your taste .

I layered the Cake spread some Peach flavoured  Butter-cream & served with some Peach Purée .

( To make Peach flavoured Butter-cream , I added some Peach Purée to the Butter-cream & mixed well .)

In my Home this Peach Chiffon Cake was a hit ………… everyone loved it . The main comments were , the Cake was not too sweet & was very light & airy , & also the Cake was very refreshing cos of the Purée ………

So do try out this recipe & let me know how it came out !!!!
