Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Simple & Quick: It takes just 15 minutes to prepare, then you can sit back as it bakes away in the oven.
Irresistible Flavor: The juicy peaches add a natural sweetness and texture that perfectly balances the buttery cake.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: This acts as the base, providing a lovely sweetness and texture.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds moisture and richness, plus a subtle tang that works wonderfully with the peaches.
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil: Helps keep the cake moist; you could substitute with melted coconut oil for a different flavor.
3 large eggs: The binding agent that adds structure and richness. Make sure they’re at room temperature for best results.
2 cups peaches cut into 1/4-inch pieces (fresh, frozen, or canned): Fresh peaches are perfect when in season, but frozen or canned work well too—just drain canned peaches properly.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Dusting the peaches in flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: Used for making the simple glaze that adds a sweet finish.
1-3 tablespoons milk: This helps achieve the right consistency for the glaze; adjust according to your preference.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A little flavor booster that complements the peaches beautifully.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F for dark Bundt pans). Prepare your 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it, or simply use baking spray with flour for convenience.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, canola oil, and eggs. Beat the mix until fully smooth; it should have a lovely, thick consistency.
Prepare the Peaches: In a small bowl, toss the chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, ensuring each piece is coated. This will help prevent them from sinking during baking.
Combine Peaches and Batter: Gently fold the floured peaches into the cake batter. Be careful here; you want to avoid overmixing, which can lead to a denser cake.
Fill the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
Bake: Place your pan in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool the Cake: Allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack. Let it cool completely.
Make the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until your glaze achieves a pourable consistency.
Drizzle the Glaze: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top, letting it cascade down the sides. This final touch adds a sweet finish to the beautiful bundt.

Storing & Reheating

To store your Peach Bundt Cake, keep it covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need it to last longer, transfer it to the fridge, where it will stay fresh for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil for a maximum of 3 months. To reheat, simply pop it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. The cake may become slightly denser after freezing, but a quick reheat restores its warm, indulgent flavor.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Overmixing: When folding in the peaches, stop mixing as soon as they’re combined to maintain a light texture.
Room Temperature Eggs: Using eggs at room temperature integrates better into the batter for a smoother cake.
Fresh vs. Frozen Peaches: If out of season, frozen peaches work beautifully; just make sure they are thawed and drained well.
Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached, but not wet batter.
Experiment with Glaze: Feel free to add a little zest from a lemon or orange to your glaze for a citrus kick.

Your kitchen is about to be filled with the sweet aroma of baked peaches and warm cake, making this Peach Bundt Cake a truly delightful treat. This cake not only shines for its rich flavor but also for how easily it comes together.
