Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until very light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should be pale and have a ribbon-like consistency. This incorporates air into the batter, creating a light texture.
- 2Grate the peel of a lemon and add it to the egg mixture. Gently fold in the sifted flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- 3Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased jelly roll pan or similar baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 4While the cake is baking, slice the peaches and sugar them bountifully. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes to soften and release their juices.
- 5Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares. Place sugared peaches between layers of the cake. Serve with a generous dollop of fresh cream.
