Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: This shortcut saves time while providing a soft base for the cake.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds moisture and a hint of tang without compromising flavor.
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil: Keeps the cake moist and tender.
3 large eggs: Creates a stable structure and binds the ingredients together.
2 cups peaches, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (fresh, frozen, or canned): Peaches provide natural sweetness and juicy flavor. For frozen, ensure they’re thawed and drained.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Lightly coating the peaches to prevent them from sinking in batter.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: Sweetens the glaze that drizzles over the cake.
1-3 tablespoons milk: Adjusts the glaze’s consistency to your liking.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor profile.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F for dark Bundt pans). Generously grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan to ensure your cake releases easily.
Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, canola oil, and eggs. Beat until the batter is smooth and everything is well incorporated.
Prepare the peaches: In a small bowl, toss the 2 cups of chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This step helps to suspend the peaches in the batter instead of letting them sink.
Fold in the peaches: Gently fold the floured peaches into the batter, ensuring that they are evenly distributed for bursts of peachy flavor throughout the cake.
Transfer to the Bundt pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula to even it out.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be lightly golden and fragrant.
Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a pourable consistency.
Drizzle the glaze: Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it cascade down the sides before slicing.

Storing & Reheating

To store your Peach Bundt Cake, keep it at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for 5 to 7 days. You can also freeze the cake, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and gently warm individual slices in the microwave for about 15 seconds to refresh the flavors.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
Don’t skip the flour coating on the peaches; it makes a significant difference in how they integrate into the batter.
Check your cake at the minimum baking time; every oven is different, and the last thing you want is to overbake it.
For an extra twist, add cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for warmth and spice!
If you want to prep ahead, you could make the cake a day in advance; it actually gets better overnight.

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a slice of Peach Bundt Cake, complemented by a warm cup of coffee or tea. Remember, this recipe is flexible, allowing for seasonal fruits or experimenting with flavors. You’ll love how simple it is to bring this delightful treat into your kitchen. Don’t hesitate—give this Peach Bundt Cake a try, and share it with friends and family!
