Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- 5 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower or rapeseed)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 1 essence of vanilla (optional)
- 2 large peaches (seasoned with sugar or cinnamon, as desired)
- 5 tablespoons of flour (preferably type 000)

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Make sure the bowls are clean and dry, as any trace of fat can prevent the egg whites from whipping well. Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare a baking tray (preferably 20x30 cm), greased with a little oil and dusted with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Beating the egg whites
Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes firm and shiny (about 3-5 minutes). This step is essential for getting a light and airy sponge cake.

Step 3: Adding the yolks
Incorporate the yolks one by one, gently mixing with a spatula or with the mixer on low speed. Then, add the oil and vanilla essence, mixing again to combine the ingredients.

Step 4: The dry ingredients
Sift the flour, baking powder, and vanilla sugar over the mixture. Gently fold in with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. The mixture should be smooth and fluffy.

Step 5: Preparing the peaches
Peel the peaches and cut them into slices or cubes (you can also use canned peaches, well-drained). Before adding them to the mixture, dust them with a thin layer of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the sponge cake. This trick will help distribute the fruit evenly in the batter.

Step 6: Baking
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and carefully place the peach pieces on top. Bake the sponge cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it becomes golden and passes the toothpick test (when the toothpick comes out clean, the sponge cake is ready).

Step 7: Cooling and serving
Let the sponge cake cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can serve it plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect experience. Another delicious option is to drizzle caramel or chocolate sauce on top.

Practical tips:
1. You can replace the peaches with other fruits, such as apricots, plums, or apples, according to your preferences.
2. If you want a sponge cake with a more intense flavor, add a little cinnamon to the flour mixture.
3. Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature for better emulsification between the egg whites and yolks.

This peach sponge cake recipe is not only easy to make, but it will surely become a favorite for everyone, and its inviting aroma will fill the house with joy. Enjoy it with love!
