I am so happy with this recipe! This might be one of the best cake recipes I have ever tried. It may seem a very simple cake but the flavor is so amazing I assure you. This cake is best with hot coffee or hot cocoa. Give it a try today. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

2 ¾ cups sifted cake flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

¾ teaspoon salt

4 egg whites

1 ½ cups white sugar

¾ cup butter

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

HOW TO MAKE HEAVENLY WHITE CAKE

Step 1: Sift three times the measured sifted cake flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2: Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and beat until foamy. Slowly add in half a cup of sugar while beating continuously until the form of a soft peak.

Step 3: Then, beat the butter until smooth before adding in the rest of the sugar. Cream until light and fluffy. Stir in the sifted ingredients alternately with the milk. Make sure to add a little milk at a time and beat every after each addition until smooth. Combine the flavorings, then, add in the meringue. Mix well until incorporated.

Step 4: Pour and spread the batter into a parchment-lined 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan.

Step 5: Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C for about 30 to 35 minutes.

Step 6: Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it cool first for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan and transferring into a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTE:

You can bake this in two 9-inch round pans for about 30 to 35 minutes or 25 to 30 minutes if you are using three 8-inch round pans.

It is suggested to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to avoid forming a thicker crust and to make sure that the cake comes out in the pan in one piece.

by Rebecca August 11, 2020

I can give you a million reasons to love this cake. But let me focus on five; very easy to prepare, the ingredients are simple and readily available, you can serve this any time of the day, goes pretty well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, and peaches have unique health benefits. I love peaches, they taste like a sweet floral with an acidic tang. And this cake tastes like fall, with roasted pecans topped with adorning cinnamon. Great as a breakfast cake, delicious when eaten cold during lunch, or as a Sunday family treat. This is a heavenly peach cake. Super moist and soft.

You are welcome to use canned peaches but I prefer the fresh ones. Nothing beats fresh peaches. This recipe is my mother’s. She is a lovely lady and I enjoyed all her cake recipes. I grew old loving pastries. And this Peach cake with Cinnamon and Pecans is one of the best. My favorite among many cake recipes she taught me. I have been making this glorious cake ever since and it is great for any occasion. And a favorite during potlucks and picnics.

1 cup of vegetable oil

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups of fresh peaches – peeled, pitted, and sliced

½ cup chopped pecans

Step 2: Then, grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch pan.

I miss my childhood days and it is because of this simple and yummy Fantasio Bars! My grandma used to bake this for me when I was a kid. Luckily, she gave me the recipe, and now, I am sharing it with you! This is the easiest and yummiest cake you will ever eat. Feel free to add your preferred ingredients as long as the main ingredients are still present. Be very generous with the coconuts and almonds as well because they are the best thing in this cake. Enjoy!

Ingredients

½ cup butter

¼ cup white sugar

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

1 ½ cups flaked coconut

1 (14 ounces) can sweeten condensed milk

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup almonds, chopped

How to make Fantasio Bars

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.

Step 2: In a saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and graham cracker crumbs.

Step 3: Transfer and spread the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Step 4: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until a little firm.

Step 5: Meanwhile, combine the coconut and condensed milk in a bowl. And spread it over the baked crust.

Step 6: Place the bars back into the oven and continue baking for another 12 minutes.

Step 7: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.

Step 8: While waiting for it to cool, melt the chocolate. Place it over a double boiler or on top of a barely simmering water. Making sure to frequently stir and scrape down the sides using a rubber spatula to prevent the chocolate from burning. Then stir in the almonds and spread the frosting over the cooled coconut layer. Let it cool until set.
