Necessary ingredients:

For the base:
- 5 eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- a pinch of salt

For the peach cream:
- 1 large jar of peach compote
- 2 packets of gelatin
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- juice from the compote topped up with water to 400 ml

For the white cream:
- 400 g mascarpone cream
- 60 g powdered sugar (ideally with vanilla flavor)
- 1 packet of cream stabilizer
- 250 g liquid cream

For decoration:
- colored coconut

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 35 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

Step by step to achieve the perfect cake:

1. Preparing the base: Start by separating the eggs. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you get a firm meringue. Add the sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes shiny. Incorporate the yolks one at a time, mixing gently. Finally, add the flour, mixing with a spatula so as not to deflate the mixture. Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35 minutes, or until the base is well risen and has a golden color.

2. Preparing the peach cream: In a small saucepan, combine the gelatin with the sugar. Add the juice from the compote, topped up with water until you reach 400 ml. Place the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously, until the gelatin completely dissolves and reaches a boil. Turn off the heat and let it cool. Meanwhile, drain the peaches from the compote and cut them into small cubes. After the gelatin has cooled, add the cut peaches and mix well.

3. Preparing the white cream: In a large bowl, whip the liquid cream with the cream stabilizer and powdered sugar until it becomes firm. Add the mascarpone cream and mix again to obtain a homogeneous and creamy mixture.

4. Assembling the cake: Remove the base from the oven and carefully remove the parchment paper. Place it back in the tray. Pour the peach and gelatin mixture over the base, leveling it evenly. Then, add the white mascarpone cream, leveling again. Finally, sprinkle colored coconut on top for a festive look.

5. Refrigeration: Place the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours, ideally overnight, so that the flavors combine perfectly and it sets.

Serving suggestion: Cut the cake into squares and serve it cold, perhaps alongside a caramel sauce or even with a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of flavor.

Possible variations: You can experiment with other fruits, such as apricots or apples, to obtain a cake with different flavors. You can also add a little almond extract to the white cream for a special taste.

This peach and mascarpone cake is not just a simple dessert, but an explosion of flavors, perfect for pampering family and friends. Enjoy every slice!
