Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: This is the base of our cake, providing a sweet and moist texture. You can substitute this with a gluten-free cake mix if desired.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds richness and moisture to the cake while creating a lovely tang. Plain yogurt works, but Greek-style gives the best texture.
3/4 cup canola oil or vegetable oil: This keeps the cake moist without adding flavor. You can use melted coconut oil for a hint of tropical flair.
3 large eggs: These are essential for structure and fluffiness. Always use room temperature eggs for best results.
2 cups peaches, cut into 1/4-inch pieces: Fresh is best for flavor, but frozen or canned peaches (well-drained) will also work.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Coating the peaches in this helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: For the glaze, providing sweetness and a beautiful, shiny finish.
1-3 tablespoons milk: This helps thin the glaze to your desired consistency.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances flavor, giving the cake a warm, aromatic quality.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F if you’re using a dark Bundt pan). Greasing and flouring a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan prevents sticking.
Combine the Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, canola oil, and eggs. Beat until the mixture is smooth and fully combined—this will just take a couple of minutes.
Prepare the Peaches: In a separate small bowl, toss the chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This coating prevents the peaches from sinking during baking.
Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold the floured peaches into the batter to ensure even distribution—be careful not to over-mix, as you want the cake light and airy.
Pour and Smooth: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top for a nice even surface.
Bake: Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Cool the Cake: Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This is where the Bundt pan’s beautiful shape shines!
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk. Add more milk, a little at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency.
Drizzle the Glaze: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a gorgeous finish.

Storing & Reheating

To keep this Peach Bundt Cake fresh, store it at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you want to extend its life, refrigerate it for about a week. For longer storage, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature and reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing, but the flavor remains delightful!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the peaches, as this can lead to a dense cake.
Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs. This helps create a better emulsion for the batter.
Customize with various fruits like raspberries or blueberries; simply substitute them for half of the peach quantity for a colorful twist.
For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter—this adds a cozy, warm spice note.
Don’t rush the cooling process; let it cool completely to avoid breaking when removing from the pan.

The Peach Bundt Cake recipe is both approachable and delicious, making it a perfect addition to your baking repertoire. Each slice invites you to explore its tender crumb and sweet undertones, leaving you wanting more. I genuinely encourage you to get creative with this recipe—substitute fruits or flavors based on what you have, or experiment with glazes. No matter how you serve it, this cake is sure to be a crowd favorite, bringing smiles and sweet moments to your table.

Recipe FAQs

Absolutely! You can replace peaches with other fruits like berries, apples, or even plums. Just ensure the fruit is well-drained and coated in flour before folding it into the batter to prevent sinking.

What’s the best way to store leftover cake?

Definitely! You can bake the cake a day in advance and store it wrapped at room temperature. The glaze can also be made ahead, just whisk it before drizzling to ensure it’s smooth.

A sinking cake can be caused by overmixing, not enough structure from the flour, or underbaking. Ensure to mix gently after adding the fruit and check for doneness with a toothpick before removing it from the oven.
