Recipe Notes
While the cake mix itself provides a good base, you can add extra flavors to enhance it further. For example, this recipe uses canned peaches, but you could also add a teaspoon or two of almond extract!
If you prefer a moister cake, you can add ingredients like sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk, or applesauce to the cake mix. These additions will keep your cake moist and tender.
Chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, dried raisins, or even crushed cookies can add texture and flavor to your cake.

Substitutions and Variations
A white cake mix will also work great.
If you don't want to make the homemade cream cheese frosting, you can substitute your favorite canned frosting.
A sprinkle of powdered sugar works great too!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix together the ingredients of the cake mix in a mixing bowl. Add the can of peaches with the juice.
Step 2: Transfer the cake batter into a bundt cake pan that's been sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

Baking Instructions
Step 3: Place the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a knife before flipping it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting
Step 4: Prepare the frosting by blending the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese until smooth. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar, then beat the frosting on high until it becomes light and fluffy.
Expert Tip
You may need to soften the frosting in the microwave for 5 seconds to make it pourable. Just be careful you don't liquify the homemade cream cheese frosting!
Step 5: After the cake has cooled entirely, drizzle the frosting onto the cake.
Step 6: You can serve the cake immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.

Can I substitute fresh peaches for canned peaches since the recipe calls for the liquid?
Yes. To easily peel your peaches, bring a pot of water to a boil and drop in 3 medium peaches for 30 seconds. Remove from the water and peel. Make the peach mixture by bringing 2 cups of sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a boil. Allow to cool before adding to the cake batter.
Can you substitute sour cream for oil in a cake mix?
Yes, it is possible to substitute sour cream for oil in a cake mix. The sour cream adds moisture and richness to the cake, resulting in a denser and more flavorful texture. To make the substitution, use an equal amount of sour cream as the amount of oil called for in the recipe.
🍶Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
❄️Freezing Tips
To freeze the cake, wrap in plastic wrap then a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.
➡️Top Recipe Tip
If the frosting is too thick, add milk a tablespoon or two to get to the right consistency.
Popping the frosting in the microwave for about 5 seconds will also help make the frosting pourable.

Peach Cake with Cake Mix
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 15.5 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 1 15 ounce can sliced peaches - do not drain
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
For the Frosting:
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preaheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt cake pan with baking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, canned peaches with the juice, eggs, and vegetable oil.
- Pour into the prepared bundt cake pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes.
- Run a butter knife around the edges and center of the bundt cake pan. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Allow to completely cool before adding the cream cheese frosting.
For the Frosting:
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the butter, vanilla, and cream cheese together on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy - about 2 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar while the machine is on low speed, a little at a time.
- Continue mixing and adding the powdered sugar.
- Once all the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. If it's too thick, you'll have to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Pour the icing over the top of the cake so it runs down the sides.

Diane Delia says
Delicious! I cut up canned peaches before adding to mix! I split cake into layers & made stabilized whipped cream (cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar & vanilla), chopped another can of drained peaches for between layers letting a little to squeeze out! A final dusting of powdered sugar & the birthday guy & guests went wild! Some of my favorite cake receives begin with a boxed cake mix! Love this cake!
Lois says

I am making this for a ladies' Bible study tonight. When I mix the cake ingredients do I just mix them by hand until moist, or like the box says?
Esmé Slabbert says
