Directions

Cake

• Preheat Oster® Toaster Oven to 400°. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. Place eggs in bowl. Add sugar and start mixing on high with Oster® Hand Mixer. Add water all at once, and continue beating until mixture is fluffy and yellow. Pour in all of the flour mixture at once, and blend thoroughly and quickly in order to prevent eggs from losing volume. Pour into pan and tap firmly once or twice on a counter to remove air bubbles. Place in toaster oven immediately and bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove cake and let cool. Poke holes in the top of cake with toothpicks. Blend milks, cream and schnapps with a wire whip and pour over cake. Refrigerate. (Any milk mixture left over makes a great milkshake with some ice cream and fresh peaches.)

Meringue

• Warm the bowl and beaters of an Oster® Hand Mixer with hot water, then dry. Beat egg whites with sugar and vanilla until stiff. Working quickly by hand, blend in powdered sugar thoroughly. Place meringue mixture in a pastry tube or plastic sandwich bag with a hole cut in a bottom corner. Pipe out strips of meringue onto a sheet pan. Place in a 250-degree Oster® Toaster Oven for about 1 hour, or until dry. This can be done a day in advance and the meringues stored in an airtight container.

• Place all ingredients in a large pot and stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until peaches are slightly soft (about 10 minutes, depending on ripeness of peaches). Remove peaches from poaching liquid and cool. Slice for plate decoration.
