Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, powdered sugar, and butter. Rub the mixture between your fingers until it forms crumbs.
Add the egg yolks and vanillin, then knead the dough until it comes together.
Divide the dough into two parts: a larger portion and a smaller one.
Press the larger portion into a 20×25 cm (8×10 inch) baking mold. Place the smaller portion in the fridge to chill.
Prepare the Filling:
In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, peach yogurt, sugar, and starch. Stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Prepare the Meringue:
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy.
Gradually add the sugar while beating, continuing until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the meringue into the sour cream mixture.
Assemble the Cake:
Pour the filling over the dough in the mold.
Grate the chilled dough and sprinkle it evenly over the filling.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Let the cake cool completely before sprinkling with powdered sugar.

Use a box grater to easily grate the chilled dough for an even topping.
