Chaja Cake, an Uruguayan Peach Meringue Layer Cake
This traditional Uruguayan Peach Meringue Layer Cake certainly looks messy but it’s oh so delicious. You will love every layer: dulce de leche, caramelized peaches, and meringue.
Melt the butter in a pan with the brown the sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the frozen peaches and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool and stir in the vanilla.
Place the bottom layer of the cake on a cake plate, and moisten cake with cooking peach juice.
Spread half the caramel, add half the peaches on layer, and sprinkle on a third of the chopped meringues. Repeat the steps one more time.
