Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
You will need several mixing bowls of different sizes. Stainless steel or glass bowls are ideal as they do not retain odors and mix ingredients evenly.
- Electric Mixer
An electric mixer will help you achieve a smooth and airy batter. Make sure your butter is soft to avoid overworking the mixer.
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Accurate measurements are crucial for baking. Use a level edge to scrape off excess ingredients for precise amounts.
- Baking Molds
Choose two round baking molds with a diameter between 14 to 18 cm (5.5 to 7 inches). Non-stick molds can help with easy cake removal.
- Spatula
A spatula will help you fold ingredients gently and spread batter evenly into the molds.

Faq
- What can I use if I don't have coconut flour?
If you don't have coconut flour, replace it and the starch with an additional 100g of wheat flour.
- How do I know when the cake is fully baked?
The cake is done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Can I store the cake, and for how long?
Yes, you can store the cake in the fridge for up to 3 days. Ensure it's covered to prevent it from drying out.
- Can I use other fruits instead of peaches?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute peaches with other soft fruits like mango or nectarines for a different twist.
- How can I ensure my mousse is smooth without lumps?
Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding it to the yogurt mixture and mix well to avoid any lumps.
- What's the best way to cut the biscuits evenly?
Use a serrated knife and gently saw through the cake layers with a back-and-forth motion to get clean, even cuts.
