One of my favorite cakes to make is this peach mousse cake. It makes a great presentation but also tastes amazing! Your guests will think you spent hours in the kitchen, but in reality, it’s so quick and easy to bake and put together.
Don’t you love quick and easy recipes that make for amazing presentation? Those are my favorite ones. That’s why I have so many one-pot, quick, and easy recipes! While I can’t make a cake in one pot, I sure can make it quick and easy. And so can you!
Peach mousse with a cake base is the perfect combination of baked sweets and creamy, fruity mousse. There’s balance and harmony along with flavor and consistency differences that wouldn’t make it in any other cake but this Peach Mousse!
The bright color of this mousse pops because of the flavored Jello! You don’t necessarily have to use a peach or apricot flavored Jello, but if you use a different flavor, the cake will no longer be the orange color and will taste a bit different, but still good.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this Easy Peach Mousse:
- eggs
- sugar
- baking powder
- flour
- peaches (in juice)
- Jello (apricot or peach flavors)
- whipping cream
- chocolate chips
- unsalted butter
How to make the Best Peach Mousse Cake
Steps
For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350F.
With a hand mixer beat together 3 eggs and 1 cup sugar for 1 minute.
Add in 1 teaspoon of baking powder; beat for 1 more minute.
On the lowest speed, add in ½ cup of flour. Pour better into a nonstick cake pan and transfer to the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Let it cool down.
For the mousse:
Separate juice and peaches from the can.
In a microwave safe bowl, mix 3 ounces of peach jello with the peach juice.
Transfer to the microwave for 3 minutes, mixing after each minute.
With a hand mixer, beat whipping cream.
While beating, slowly pour the jello mixture into the whipped cream. Continue beating until the mix can form stiff peaks.
Mix together ½ cup of water with 1 teaspoon of sugar. Pour on top of the sponge cake using a spoon. This will help make the cake moist.
Spread the mousse on top of the sponge cake. Put the cake in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
While the cake is in the fridge, make the chocolate glaze by melting 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Stir in ¼ cup chocolate chips right away and mix until melted.
Pour the chocolate glaze over the cake.
Finish off by decorating the cake with some peach slices. All ready, slice the cake and enjoy!
