If you’ve never tried combining peaches with chocolate and whipped cream, this Slovenian Layered Chocolate Cake with Peaches is a great dessert recipe to try.
It’s called Špikov Vrh—a soft cocoa sponge soaked in sweet rum milk, layered with whipped cream and peaches, and topped with a silky chocolate glaze.
For The Sponge Cake: – eggs – sugar – oil – milk
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add in the oil and milk, and mix until smooth. Stir in the semolina, cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder until everything is well combined.
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 35 × 20 cm baking pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is done and still warm, poke holes all over the surface with a fork. Slowly pour the sweetened rum milk over the cake so it absorbs evenly.
