Method
Make the cream
- Pour the fresh milk into a saucepan. Add the egg yolk, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well.
- Add the peel of 1 lemon and place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Stir constantly until the cream thickens.
- Remove from heat, discard the grated lemon zest, and transfer the cream to a bowl. Cover with cling film and allow to cool.
Prepare the cake batter
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with 100 grams of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 200 milliliters of fresh milk and 120 milliliters of oil, mixing well. Then, grate and add the peel of 1 lemon.
- Sift together 230 grams of flour with 1 packet of baking powder, and slowly mix into the batter until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Prepare a 24 cm (9.5-inch) baking dish with parchment paper.
- Pour most of the batter into the dish and bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove from the oven and pour the prepared cream over the cake.
- Chop the peaches into small cubes and distribute them evenly over the cream layer.
- Pour the remaining batter on top of the peaches, then return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, let the cake cool before removing it from the dish.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut into slices, and serve.
