Simple & Quick: Whip this cake up in just about 15 minutes of prep time and bake it to perfection.
Irresistible Flavor: The combination of fresh peaches and rich vanilla yogurt lends an unforgettable taste.
Eye-Catching Appeal: The stunning Bundt shape makes it a beautiful dessert for any table.
Flexible Serving: Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or even a sweet afternoon snack.
Diet-Friendly Options: Easily adaptable to suit specific dietary needs, with substitutions for gluten-free or vegan diets.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: This provides the cake base; feel free to substitute with a gluten-free mix if needed.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds moisture and a subtle tang; sour cream is a good alternative.
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil: Keeps the cake moist; melted coconut oil can also work here.
3 large eggs: Essential for structure; egg substitutes can be used for vegan options.
2 cups peaches, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (fresh, frozen, or canned): Fresh peaches offer the best flavor, but frozen or canned can work as well.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Helps to coat the peach pieces so they don’t sink in the batter.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: For the glaze; granulated sugar can work in a pinch, but will create a different texture.
1-3 tablespoons milk: Adjust to achieve the right consistency for the glaze; use any milk substitute if needed.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: For added flavor; feel free to use almond extract for a unique twist.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F if using a dark-colored Bundt pan). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly, or reach for baking spray with flour for a hassle-free release.
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, canola oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture until it’s smooth and well combined, ensuring there’s no dry cake mix left.
Prepare the Peaches: In a small bowl, toss the chopped peaches with the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until they’re well coated. This step prevents the peaches from sinking in the batter as it bakes, keeping them evenly distributed.
Combine Peaches with Batter: Gently fold the floured peach pieces into your batter. Be careful not to over-mix; you want the peaches to be evenly distributed throughout the batter without breaking them down.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden.
Cool the Cake: Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes. After that, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is cooling, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a separate bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk as needed to achieve a pourable glaze.
Drizzle and Serve: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides before slicing and serving.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover Peach Bundt Cake at room temperature for up to two days, wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If you’d like to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cake wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw at room temperature. The cake texture will remain delicious, but refreshing it with a light glaze can bring back its original charm.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid over-mixing the batter after adding the flour-coated peaches to keep the cake tender.
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This ensures a smoother batter.
Check for doneness as oven temperatures may vary; a toothpick should come out clean from the center.
If you’re short on time, make the cake a day in advance; it will taste even better as the flavors meld overnight.
Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for an extra flavor boost.

Peach Bundt Cake is genuinely a delightful dessert that brings the essence of summer right to your table. The combination of moist cake and luscious fruit makes it feel like a warm hug on a plate. As you try your hand at this recipe, don’t hesitate to experiment with the glaze or even the fruit used. Whether you decide on fresh peaches or go with a cherry or raspberry twist, this cake will surely become a cherished recipe in your collection.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use canned peaches for this recipe?

Absolutely! Canned peaches work wonderfully in this recipe. Just make sure to drain them thoroughly to avoid adding excess moisture to your batter.

What should I do if my cake sticks to the Bundt pan?

To avoid sticking, ensure that your Bundt pan is well-greased and floured before pouring in the batter. If it does stick, try running a thin, flexible spatula around the edges to gently loosen it before inverting.

Can I make this cake in advance?

Yes, this cake holds up very well when made in advance. It can be stored wrapped at room temperature for a couple of days, or in the fridge for up to a week. The flavor intensifies over time, making it an excellent choice for preparing ahead of gatherings.

Can I substitute the yogurt in the recipe?

You can use sour cream or any plain dairy alternative as a substitute for the Greek yogurt. Yogurt is essential for moisture, so ensure your substitute has a similar consistency.
