EASY CHAJA CAKE



Easy Chaja Cake image

Chaja [cha-ha] Cake is a Uruguayan dessert which has: vanilla sponge cake layers, peach syrup, dulce de leche, chopped meringue cookies, whipped cream, and peach slices. I had heard about this cake on the Cooking Channel. Since there was no recipe for it on the cooking channel's website I researched it on Google and I tried finding a recipe but a lot of them were in Spanish. I tried finding a recipe in English but they all seemed a little too time consuming and the measurements were in grams. So I came up with and easier way to make this. The sponge cake part of the recipe credit goes to food.com user izza_zanab (whose recipe I doubled). I've made this cake before and it's really really delicious!!
