Fantasquares (Fantaschnitten)

This again is a very easy and quick cake that doesn't take more than 45 min total time to prepare. It's a refreshing and light cake. It contains soda (Fanta in Europe, but I prefer Orangina, which comes close to German Fanta in color, taste and sweetness, in the US). Because of the carbon dioxide in the soda the batter is very fluffy. A layer of yoghurt, whipped cream and canned peaches is layered on top making this a perfect summer cake.

Ingredients:

1 greased baking sheet

4 eggs

1 package vanilla sugar or some vanilla aroma

125 g sugar

125 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil such as canola or sunflower

150 ml (2/3 cup) Fanta or Orangina soda

3 leveled teaspoons baking powder

250 g flour

For the topping:

2 cans sliced peaches

600 ml (1 pint) heavy whipping cream

500 g Greek Yoghurt (Fage or Chobani brand)

2x25 g sugar or 6 packages vanilla sugar

Some vanilla aroma

ground cinnamon

1. With an electric hand mixer beat eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar or aroma until creamy. Add in oil and soda. Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add a tablespoon at a time to batter and mix well. Pour batter onto greased baking sheet, level and bake in oven (not preheated) at 180 degrees Celsius (350 F) for about 20 to 25 min (until surface is golden brown or toothpick comes out clean). Let cake cool on baking sheet.

2. Drain peaches, and dice into smaller pieces.

3. Whip cream with 25 g sugar (3 packages vanilla sugar) and some vanilla aroma until stiff.

4. Mix Greek yoghurt with 25 g of sugar and some vanilla aroma or 3 packages vanilla sugar). Add in peach dices. Now fold whipped cream under the yoghurt-peach mixture and layer topping on cold cake. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon before serving.
