This recipe for Easy Peach Cake is very similar to my Blueberry Crumb Cake. Both use a homemade cake batter unlike my Peach Crumb Cake with Yellow Cake Mix.
I do love baking with cake mixes and using them as an ingredient for dessert recipes. It's one of my favorite cake mix baking hacks. But for this recipe, the batter comes together so quickly, there's no need for shortcuts!
Baking with Canned Peaches
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?

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Whisk the dry ingredients together and set aside. In the bowl of a KitchenAid Mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
Then add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients followed by the sour cream.
Step 2: Add the Batter to Prepared Pan
Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into a prepared 9 inch springform pan that's been lined with a circle of parchment paper.
Step 3: Baking Instructions
Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 15 minutes. Then remove the cake from the oven and add the drained canned peaches to the top of the cake pressing gently.
Return the cake to the oven and continue to bake an additional 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool while you prepare the powdered sugar glaze.
