INSTRUCTIONS.
Regarding the Cake:.
Three 82 inch round cake pans should be greased and floured as the oven is preheated to 350°F. The cake has more filling per slice when there are three layers, but the layers are shorter. Salt, baking powder, and flour should be combined in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Setting aside. Use a fork to stir the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract in a different bowl or large measuring cup. Set apart. Cream the softened butter until it is smooth in a mixing bowl.
Add the sugar gradually and beat for 3 to 5 minutes at medium speed, or until the mixture is fluffy and light. In order to remove the yolk’s yellow color, beat each egg separately. Add the flour mixture first, and then the sour cream mixture after that, in alternating order.
Don’t overmix; just blend and blend until smooth. Before gently incorporating the diced peaches into the cake batter, toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour. It will be a fairly thick batter.
As you distribute the batter among the three pans, use a spoon to smooth the tops. When a toothpick is inserted into the center, it should come out clean or with a few crumbs still attached. Bake for 25 to 28 minutes. Before turning the cakes out, give them five to ten minutes to cool.
All-purpose flour can be used in place of cake flour if you don’t have any on hand. Substitute 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (corn flour) for 2 tablespoons of the flour called for in the recipe. Whisk the two together to combine them.
Guidelines for the Filling:.
In a medium bowl, mix together the heavy cream and instant vanilla pudding mix. To make the mixture thick and fluffy, mix it with a hand mixer.
One cup of diced peaches should be added to the mixture.
Refrigerating is required for cakes with this filling.
For the cream cheese frosting, follow these directions:.
Slice the butter, then place it in the mixing bowl. Beat the butter until it is smooth and softened at low to medium speed.
Cream cheese that has been slightly softened should be added to the bowl, and it should be mixed in at low to medium speed. Allow the cream cheese to soften a little longer while using a hand mixer.
Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the powdered sugar gradually while beating on low speed to fully incorporate. To avoid creating a cloud of sugar, cover the bowl with a towel while mixing.
Increase the mixing speed and keep mixing the frosting until it becomes fluffy. Avoid overbeating it as it might get too soft. The frosting can be temporarily chilled to stiffen it if necessary.
It is important to remember that using this frosting while it is still chilled will result in better piping. You can prepare it ahead of time, put it in the fridge, and then mix it when you’re ready to use it. Don’t soften it in the microwave.
Assembly of the cake:.
Put the first cake layer on a cake base or pedestal.
Brush a thin layer of canned peach juice over the surface. Simply enough to cover the top.
Using a disposable piping bag with the tip snipped off, pipe a dam of cream cheese frosting about 12 inch from the edge of the cake. The filling will be contained by this circle of frosting.
On top of the thin layer of peach juice within the frosting dam, spread a layer of peach preserves.
The Peaches and Cream filling is placed next.
This Peaches and Cream Layer Cake is the ideal dessert to enjoy during those warm summer days, and it’s sure to impress everyone, especially the elderly who appreciate time-honored traditions.
