Chocolate & Peach Cheese Cake Recipe

I’m very proud of my cake recipe collection. That’s because I absolutely love cakes, and cheesecakes in particular, whether it’s no-bake or traditionally baked cakes.

This delicious chocolate & peach cake is very suitable for summer, refreshing and easy to digest. A wonderful combination, the velvety chocolate cream and the light and aromatic peach cream go well together.

You won’t be able to stop at your first slice! Especially as each slice reveals yet another flavorful surprise, a glimpse of fresh and delicate raspberries. Enjoy!
