This is another dessert made with canned peaches. That's right, you don't need fresh peaches to make these year-round treats. Did you know you can substitute canned peaches for most recipes that call for fresh?
Helpful Kitchen Tools

Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- Try using other canned fruits like pears, blueberries or a combination of your favorite fruit.
- Fresh or frozen peaches (sliced or diced) can also be used, but you may need to adjust the baking time.
- If you don't have sour cream, try plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or crème fraîche.
- Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the powdered sugar glaze for a tangy twist.
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream, mixing until just combined. Scrape the batter into a parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan.
Quick Tip
For a smooth batter and easier mixing, bring your butter to room temperature before you begin. This will ensure the butter creams properly with the sugar, creating a light and airy cake.
Simply place the butter on the counter about an hour before you start baking. If you're short on time, cut the butter into smaller pieces to help it soften faster.
Baking Instructions
Step 2: Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Top with the drained peaches, pressing gently. Continue baking for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool while you prepare the glaze.
Powdered Sugar Glaze
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk. Slowly drizzle on top of the cooled cake.

Yes, as long as you purchase the canned peaches that are packed in either light syrup or fruit juice. Canned peaches packed in heavy syrup contain a lot of sugar.
