Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix: The base of your cake, it brings lightness and convenience.
1 cup Greek vanilla yogurt: Adds moisture and a hint of tanginess, elevating the cake’s texture.
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil: Ensures a moist crumb and keeps the cake tender.
3 large eggs: Acts as the binder in the batter, providing structure.
2 cups peaches cut into 1/4-inch pieces: Fresh, frozen, or canned—these juicy bites are the star ingredient.
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour: Helps prevent the peaches from sinking in the batter as it bakes.
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar: For the glaze, adding a sweet finish to your cake.
1-3 tablespoons milk: To achieve the desired glaze consistency—start with one tablespoon and adjust as necessary.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor with its rich and aromatic essence.

How to Make Peach Bundt Cake

Preheat Your Oven: Set the oven to 350 degrees F (or 325 degrees F if using a dark-colored Bundt pan). Prepare your 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it, or simply use baking spray with flour for easy release.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Greek vanilla yogurt, canola oil, and eggs. Beat everything together until smooth and fully combined—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
Prepare the Peaches: In a small bowl, toss the chopped peaches with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This light coating will help the peaches stay suspended in the cake batter and not sink to the bottom.
Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold the floured peach pieces into your batter, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer to Bundt Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to let it cool completely.
Make the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk as necessary to reach your desired glaze consistency—thinner for a drizzle or thicker for a more substantial topping.
Drizzle and Serve: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to gently cascade down the sides. Slice and enjoy!

Storing & Reheating

To store your Peach Bundt Cake, keep it covered at room temperature where it will stay delicious for about 2 days. If you need to extend its life, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap the cake in plastic wrap and tuck it into the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight. Note that the texture may change slightly after freezing, but a quick reheating in the microwave for 10-15 seconds can rejuvenate its warmth and flavors.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the batter once you add the peaches; this helps keep the cake light and airy.
Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification with the batter.
If your cake is doming in the center, you may have baked it a little too long; keep an eye on it in the last few minutes.
For an added flavor twist, consider sprinkling some cinnamon into the batter or glaze.
You can easily make the batter ahead of time and bake it when you’re ready, just be sure to adjust your baking time if using a cold batter.

How can I make this cake gluten-free?

To make this Peach Bundt Cake gluten-free, simply substitute the yellow cake mix with your favorite gluten-free cake mix. Make sure to check the other ingredients, like the flour for tossing the peaches, to be gluten-free as well.

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

The best testing method is using a toothpick inserted into the center. When it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, your cake is ready. Additionally, the edges may start to pull away from the pan, which is a good visual cue!
