Sunday Dinner

Happy Sunday! Every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.

Chajá Cake

This Sunday I am bringing you something that feels like pure happiness on a plate. Chajá is a dreamy Uruguayan cake made with soft, airy sponge, juicy peaches and billowy whipped cream, plus little pops of sweet, crunchy meringue. It is light, it is luscious, and it is the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes on the first bite.

Around my table, this is the dessert that makes people slow down and say, “Wow, this is amazing.” Whether you serve it to a crowd or tuck away a slice for yourself, it is worth making just for that joy.

Let’s end Sunday dinner on the sweetest note possible!
