Ingredients: *For the ice cream:* - 3 eggs - 150 g sugar - 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour - 300 ml milk - 350 ml heavy cream - 4 ripe peaches - 50 g chocolate (preferably dark or milk, chopped) *For the cake:* - 2 eggs - 2 tablespoons flour - 2 tablespoons sugar - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon oil - 5 g baking powder *For decoration:* - 100 ml whipped cream - Red currants - Cherries - Peaches (one extra peach for decoration) - Grated chocolate Step by step: 1. Preparing the cake: - Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F). - In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. This is when the sugar should fully dissolve. - In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, gently mixing with a spatula to avoid losing air. - Add the oil and mix gently until everything is well combined. - Pour the batter into a 22 cm round cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool. 2. Preparing the ice cream: - In a bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar until you achieve a creamy consistency. - Add the cornstarch or flour and mix well. - Heat the milk in a saucepan and gradually pour it over the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling. Place the mixture over medium heat and stir continuously for 5-10 minutes until it thickens. Add vanilla and let it cool. - Whip the cream until stiff and fold it into the cooled egg mixture. - Peel the peaches and puree them using a blender. Add the peach puree to the ice cream mixture and mix well. - Pour the ice cream into a container and freeze for one hour. After one hour, remove the ice cream, blend it well to break the ice crystals, and return it to the freezer for another hour. 3. Assembling the cake: - Prepare a deeper round dish with a diameter of 22 cm, lining it with plastic wrap. - Pour the ice cream into the dish, adding the peach and chocolate chunks into the mixture. Freeze for 2 hours. - Once the ice cream has set, prepare the cake layer. - Soak the cake with a simple syrup (water and sugar) to keep it moist and place it over the ice cream in the dish. Let it chill in the fridge overnight or for 2-3 hours. 4. Serving: - To unmold the cake, place the dish in a pot of hot water for 1-2 minutes. This will help the ice cream release more easily. - Invert the cake onto a serving platter and decorate with whipped cream, sliced peaches, cherries, currants, and grated chocolate. If desired, you can return the cake to the freezer to firm up the whipped cream, but it is just as delicious fresh. Practical tips: - Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a uniform texture. - You can substitute peaches with other seasonal fruits like strawberries or raspberries to create delicious variations of this cake. - If you love chocolate, add more chocolate chunks to the ice cream mixture or use white chocolate for a colorful and flavorful contrast. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use frozen fruit? Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but for a fresh taste, fresh fruit is ideal. - How can I store the cake? The cake can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Make sure it is well covered to prevent ice crystals from forming. - What drinks pair well with it? This cake is wonderful enjoyed alongside a chilled fruit tea or a sweet wine. In conclusion, this peach and chocolate ice cream cake is not just a dessert but a culinary experience that brings joy and indulgence. Whether you make it for a special occasion or to treat yourself on warm days, this recipe is sure to become a favorite!
