Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: This serves as the base for the cake, providing a light, tender crumb. Any quality brand works, but make sure it’s a standard yellow mix for the best flavor.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds moisture and a lovely tang that complements the sweetness of the peaches. You could also use plain yogurt if needed.
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil: This ensures your cake stays moist and delivers a tender texture. Feel free to substitute with melted coconut oil for a fun twist!
3 large eggs: Eggs bind the ingredients together while adding richness. Be sure to use room temperature eggs for the best mix.
2 cups peaches cut into 1/4-inch pieces (fresh, frozen, or canned): These are the stars of the recipe! Fresh peaches are great when in season, but frozen or canned work nicely, too—just drain them well before adding.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Coating the peaches in flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: This will sweeten your glaze to perfection, providing that lovely finish on top of the cake.
1-3 tablespoons milk: Milk is essential for achieving the desired pourable consistency in your glaze. Adjust based on how thick you want it.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A touch of pure vanilla enhances the overall flavor remarkably well.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F for dark Bundt pans). Prepare a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it, or use a baking spray that contains flour for ease.
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the yellow cake mix, 1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt, 3/4 cup canola oil, and 3 large eggs. Beat until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
Prepare the Peaches: In a separate small bowl, toss the chopped 2 cups of peaches in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This step is crucial as it helps keep the fruit suspended in the batter.
Fold in Peaches: Gently incorporate the floured peaches into the cake batter, being careful not to overmix—just enough to distribute them evenly.
Pour Batter into Pan: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, gently smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The edges may begin to turn a lovely golden brown and smell amazing.
Cool the Cake: After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk. If needed, adjust the milk until reaching a smooth, pourable consistency.
Glaze the Cake: Once your cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze generously over the top, allowing it to trickle down the sides for that classic Bundt look.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your Peach Bundt Cake fresh, store it at room temperature for up to three days in an airtight container. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for about a week. For extended storage, you can freeze the cake, wrapped well, for up to three months. Remember to thaw it in the fridge overnight before enjoying. Reheat a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds if you want to warm it up, though keep in mind that the texture may change slightly after freezing.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Don’t Overmix: This can lead to a denser texture. Mix gently once you add the peaches.
Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature eggs and yogurt will help make a smoother batter.
Testing for Doneness: For accuracy, poke the cake with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumb clumps attached.
Glazing Options: Feel free to flavor the glaze with lemon juice or almond extract for a new twist.
Make Ahead: This cake stores beautifully, making it an excellent choice for prepping the day before a gathering.

The Peach Bundt Cake is such a delightful creation, filled with fresh, juicy bits of peaches and a sweet glaze that makes it irresistible. It’s perfect for those warm summer evenings or any occasion when you’re in the mood for something comforting yet elegant. Don’t hesitate to make this cake your own by experimenting with different fruits or adding spices to suit your taste. You’ll find this cake won’t just satisfy your cravings; it’ll become a cherished recipe in your collection.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use different fruits instead of peaches?

Absolutely! This recipe is versatile. You can use nectarines, cherries, or even berries. Just remember to adjust the flour coating as needed to prevent the fruit from sinking.

What’s the best way to know when the cake is done?

A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If it comes out with wet batter, give it a few more minutes in the oven.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Yes! You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free alternative. Be sure to use gluten-free flour for the peaches as well to keep it entirely gluten-free.

How can I make the glaze more flavorful?

You can add a bit of lemon juice or almond extract to the glaze for an added zing. Just keep adjusting the milk to maintain a pourable consistency.
