Peach Melba Mini Cakes with Raspberries and Ice Cream

Peach Melba Mini Cakes with Raspberries and Ice Cream

Peach Melba Mini Cakes with Raspberries and Ice Cream are delicate individual-sized cakes that perfectly balance the sweetness of ripe peaches, the tanginess of fresh raspberries, and the creaminess of ice cream. These cakes offer a fresh, fruity, and elegant dessert ideal for any occasion, combining a tender cake base with juicy fruit and a cool scoop of ice cream.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • Fresh ripe peaches (peeled and sliced)
  • Fresh or frozen raspberries

Cake Batter

  • Butter (softened)
  • Sugar
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Vanilla extract
  • Eggs

Topping

  • Vanilla or raspberry ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Peel and slice fresh peaches into thin wedges, then gently toss with a little sugar to help release their natural juices. Set aside the raspberries to be added later.
  2. Mix the Batter: Cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until smooth and well combined.
  3. Assemble Mini Cakes: Spoon the batter into greased mini cake molds or muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full. Arrange peach slices gently on top so they remain visible during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20 minutes or until the cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the molds.
  5. Add Raspberries and Ice Cream: Once cooled, top each mini cake with fresh raspberries and a generous scoop of your favorite vanilla or raspberry ice cream to complete the Peach Melba flavor profile.

Notes

  • Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender and fluffy cakes.
  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter.
  • Let ice cream soften slightly before scooping for easier plating.
  • Make sure mini cakes are completely cooled before adding ice cream to prevent melting.
