Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: The base of this cake, which adds sweetness and a tender crumb.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds moisture and a subtle tang, enhancing the cake’s flavor and texture. Feel free to substitute with regular vanilla yogurt if needed.
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil: Keeps the cake moist. You can use melted coconut oil for a hint of tropical flavor.
3 large eggs: Essential for structure and richness; room temperature eggs will blend better.
2 cups peaches, cut into 1/4-inch pieces: Fresh, frozen, or canned peaches will work beautifully—just make sure to drain canned peaches well.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Coating the peaches in flour helps to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: For the sweet glaze that adds a finishing touch.
1-3 tablespoons milk: To thin out the glaze to a pourable consistency.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the sweetness of the glaze and complements the peach flavor beautifully.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F for dark-colored Bundt pans). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan, or you can use baking spray that has flour for extra ease.
Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, canola oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture until it’s smooth and well combined.
Prepare the peaches: In a small bowl, toss your chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until they are well-coated.
Fold in the peaches: Gently fold the floured peaches into your cake batter, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
Pour into the pan: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake the cake: Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges should be slightly golden.
Cool in the pan: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
Drizzle and serve: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before slicing and serving.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Peach Bundt Cake fresh, store it at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. If you want it to last longer, refrigerate it, where it’ll stay good for about a week. You can also freeze the cake for up to three months—just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by foil. To reheat, microwave each slice for about 15-20 seconds until warmed through; note that the texture may change slightly, but it will still be delicious!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your eggs and yogurt are at room temperature for the best mixing results.
Peach Alternatives: If you don’t have fresh peaches, use frozen ones that you’ve thawed and drained. Canned peaches work too, but be sure to pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
Baking Pan Choice: If using a dark-colored pan, reduce the oven temperature slightly to prevent over-browning.
Texture Tips: If your batter seems too thick, a splash of milk can help adjust the consistency before pouring it into the pan.
Glaze Consistency: Adjust the thickness of your glaze before drizzling—experimenting with milk can help you achieve the perfect pour.

With its tender crumb and sweet peach flavor, Peach Bundt Cake is sure to win hearts (and appetites) alike. You can truly enjoy it for any occasion, from a cozy breakfast to a gathering with friends. Feel free to unleash your creativity, perhaps topping it with fresh peaches or a sprinkling of cinnamon for a personal touch.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use another type of fruit instead of peaches?

Absolutely! This recipe is quite versatile. You can easily substitute peaches with other fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or apples. Just remember to adjust the sugar, depending on how sweet your chosen fruit is.

How do I know when the cake is done baking?

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready. If there’s wet batter on the toothpick, it’s not done yet.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Certainly! You can bake the cake a day before serving and store it covered at room temperature. Just glaze it right before you’re ready to serve for the freshest taste.

Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Simply swap the yellow cake mix for a gluten-free cake mix and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free as well. This way, everyone can enjoy a slice of this delicious cake!
