Preparation

Step 1

In our house, I am always the one that says: Let’s make a cake???!!. I LOVE homemade cake. From licking the bowl with the leftover batter, to the smell of the cake while it is baking in the house, the tension of doing the toothpick test and the relief of when it comes out clean, to thinking about the filling or glaze and the best part overall…to finally cutting the first piece and eating it…lol. This cake literally represents the name of this blog. Marilyn made this peach cake and I made the rest: the filling and glaze. Both are sweet staples of a lot of  Brazilian desserts and as you know it was made with condensed milk. This cake is a great option for the warm weather because it has a mix of flavors and it needs to be served cold!! Enjoy it!

Make the glaze when everything is done. You can't leave this for a long time out of the refrigerator because it will separate.

3 fresh peacesh for decoration,  peeled and cut into slices.

You are going to whisk the egg whites in a mixing bowl until semi stiff.

Pour into 2 greased and floured cakes rounds.

Cook the condensed milk, egg yolks and coconut milk, stirring slowly  to combine with the yolks.

When it starts to  simmer, mix the  corn starch dissolved with 3/4 c. of  water and add it to the cream filling.
