Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 large Egg
1 cup milk
½ cup butter (melted)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped Peach (fresh or canned)
For the custard layer:
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, beat the Egg with sugar until light and fluffy.
Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then mix well.
Gradually add flour and baking powder, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Fold the chopped Peach pieces into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the custard by heating milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla while stirring until thick.
Spread the custard mixture evenly over the batter.
Bake for about 35–40 minutes or until the top becomes golden.
How to Make
Start by preparing the cake batter using flour, sugar, milk, and Egg. The eggs help create a soft, airy texture.
Next, mix in the fruit pieces. The sweet flavor of Peach adds natural sweetness and moisture.
Pour the batter into a baking pan and gently add the creamy custard layer on top.
During baking, the cake forms two delicious textures: a fluffy sponge and a creamy center.
Variations
Mango Version: Replace Peach with diced Mango.
Berry Cake: Add strawberries or blueberries for a tangy flavor.
Chocolate Twist: Mix chocolate chips into the batter.
Coconut Version: Replace part of the milk with coconut milk for a tropical taste.
Tips
Use room-temperature Egg for better mixing.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before cutting so the custard layer sets.
Use fresh ripe Peach for the best flavor.
