INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CAKE
FOR THE MILKS
POACHED PEACH GARNISH
WHIPPED CREAM
MERINGUE
FOR POACHED PEACH GARNISH: Place all the ingredients in a large pot and
stir to dissolve the sugar, bring to a boil, reduce and simmer until
peaches are slightly soft about 10 minutes depending on the ripeness of the
peaches. Remove from the poaching liquid and cool. Slice peaches and
decorate plate. FOR WHIPPED CREAM: In a well chilled bowl with chilled
beaters, beat the crream with the vanilla and sugar until firm. Place a
blob on top of a piece of cake and garnish. Sugar can be omitted depending
on taste. FOR MERINGUE: Beat egg whites with 1/3 cup sugar and vanilla
until stiff. (it helps to have warmed the bowl and beaters with warm water
first then dry before use. This will ensure a high whip) By hand working
quickly, blend in the powdered sugar thoroughly. Take a plastic sandwich or
pastry tube and pipe out strips of meringue onto a sheet pan. Place in a
250 degree oven for about 1 hour or until dry. This can be done a day in
advance and stored in an airtight container.
Place eggs into mixer bowl, add sugar and start mixing on high. Add water
all at once, continue beating until mixture is fluffy and pale yellow.
Meanwhile sift all other ingredients together and set aside. When the eggs
are ready, pour all of the flour mixture into the eggs at once and blend
thoroughtly and quickly (or else eggs will drop the volume). pour into a
lightly greased 13x9 pan and tap firmly once or twice on the counter to
remove the air bubbles. Place in a 400 degree preheated oven immediatley
for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the cake and
cool, poke holes into the cake with toothpick and pour the milk mixture on
top. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with Poached Peach Garnish and
whipped cream or meringue. FOR MILKS: Blend the ingredients with a wire
whip and pour over the cake. Any left over makes a great shake with some
ice cream and fresh peaches!

A Message from our Provider:
“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
