Description
This Brown Sugar Peach Cake is the perfect way to use up those ripe, juicy peaches! It’s a sweet, moist cake, studded with tender peaches and topped with a brown sugar glaze.
Ingredients
15 ounce yellow cake mix
3 large eggs, or the amount specified by your cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil, or the amount specified by your cake mix
1/2 cup peach nectar or peach juice
1 lb peeled and chopped peaches, (about 3-4)
drop orange food coloring, optional
brown sugar frosting
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Mix together the cake mix, eggs, oil, peach nectar, and food coloring (if using). Add the peaches to the batter. Pour the batter into a lightly sprayed 912 pan. Bake for about 28 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out without batter clinging.
For the frosting, boil the butter, cream, and brown sugar in a saucepan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla and sifted sugar. Whisk until smooth. Return to low heat if needed.
Pour the frosting over the cake evenly. Let the frosting harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator before cutting.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients. This helps the ingredients combine properly and create a more even batter.
Don’t open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to deflate.
Test for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature.
