The Recipe How-To
Now that you have all the ingredients ready, it’s time to start baking! This peach cream cake recipe is composed of three parts: cake layers, peach cream layer, and frosting. Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it seems!
Cake Layers
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
The first step in baking is preheating the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and let it warm up while preparing the cake mix.
Step 2: Beat the Cake Mix
Now open your yellow cake mix and pour into a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs and ⅓ cup of peach juice to the mixing bowl with cake mix. Beat all ingredients together until well combined.
Step 3: Pour the Mixture into Two Cake Pans
Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray. Pour the mixture equally into both pans.
Step 4: Bake in the Oven
Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for 15–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once done, take out from oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing from pan.
Peach Cream Layer
Step 5: Prepare Peach Cream Layers Filling
In a medium bowl, whisk together one box of vanilla instant pudding mix, one can of sweetened condensed milk, and one can (21 oz) of lucky leaf premium peach fruit filling & topping. Keep stirring until smooth. Set aside.
Step 6: Beat Cream Cheese Mixture
In another mixing bowl, beat one package (8 oz) of softened cream cheese until creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add in the prepared peach cream mixture from step 5, then whip until fully combined.
Frosting
Step 7: Make Frosting
In a mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together one stick (1/2 cup) of unsalted butter with one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add in powdered sugar (about 2 cups), beating until fully combined.
Step 8: Assemble the Peach Cream Cake
To assemble, place one sponge cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half portion of prepared peach cream cheese mixture over it evenly, then top with second layer sponge cake.
Finally, spread prepared frosting mixture all around sides and top of the cake; use a spatula to smooth out any rough edges.
Keep it in fridge for an hour or two before serving to your guests as an after-dinner dessert or enjoying it on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It is also perfect paired with peach ice cream or served alongside peach cobbler! Enjoy!
Substitutions and Variations
This recipe for peach cream cake is already pretty delicious – there’s no doubt about that. But if you’re looking to switch things up a little bit or adapt the recipe to cater to dietary restrictions, there are a few substitutions and variations you can try.
Firstly, if you’re looking for a gluten-free version of this cake, you can swap out the yellow cake mix and all-purpose flour for gluten-free alternatives. It may take some experimenting to get the ratios right, but it’s definitely doable.
If you don’t have access to fresh peaches, don’t fret! You can always use canned peaches instead. Simply drain them well before incorporating them into the recipe. Alternatively, if peaches aren’t your thing, you could try substituting with other fruits like apricots, nectarines or even strawberries.
For an extra kick of flavor, try adding in some ginger or cinnamon to the cake mix. You could also substitute the vanilla pudding mix for other flavors like banana cream or chocolate fudge.
If you’re looking to trim down on some calories, try swapping the condensed milk for unsweetened almond milk and reducing the amount of sugar used in the recipe. You could also experiment with using alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or honey.
Another variation you could try is making individual peach cream cupcakes instead of a full cake. Simply divide the batter among cupcake liners and adjust the baking time accordingly.
Overall, there are plenty of ways to adapt this peach cream cake recipe to fit your personal preferences or dietary needs. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make it your own!
Serving and Pairing
Peach Cream Cake is a delectable dessert that can be served in numerous ways. You can slice the cake into small servings for a delightful afternoon snack or serve larger slices for a celebratory dessert. It is an eye-catching cake that is sure to impress your guests.
The sweetness of the peaches and cream, along with the richness of the cake is best complemented with a cup of coffee or tea. This sweet treat pairs perfectly with a freshly brewed latte or cappuccino.
If you want to make it more indulgent, you can serve this cake with a scoop of peach ice cream on top. The combination of chilled ice cream and warm cake will melt in your mouth and create a heavenly taste experience.
For those who love fruit, a simple peach compote made with fresh peaches or canned peaches can be the perfect topping for this delicious cake. It will add a tangy and sweet flavor profile that complements the cake’s smooth texture.
Additionally, if you are looking for ways to customize or decorate your Peach Cream Cake, adding some chopped fresh peaches, mascarpone cheese or strawberry jam to the top layer can create an appealing and luxurious aesthetic.
This versatile dessert is also perfect for celebrating special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or weddings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to serving and pairing the Peach Cream Cake; it’s up to your imagination!
Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
Once your Peach Cream Cake is ready, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you want to make it ahead of time, you can easily bake the cake layers a day or two before assembling the cake. Wrap the layers tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The peaches and cream topping may become a bit runny if left at room temperature for too long, so it’s best to store your leftovers in the fridge. When reheating slices of cake, microwave them for 15-20 seconds or pop them into a preheated 350-degree oven for about 3-5 minutes.
You can also freeze this cake for longer storage. Freeze the assembled cake without decorations, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and then covered with aluminum foil, for up to one month. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Note that freezing may affect the texture of the cake slightly.
Pro tip: If you want to add whipped cream as decorations, it’s best to add it at the last minute since whipped cream deflates quickly. And when storing your leftover whipped cream, store it separately and not on top of your cake to avoid any melting or soggy issues.
Tips for Perfect Results
To ensure you get the most delicious and moist peaches and cream cake, follow these tips and tricks.
Firstly, when baking a cake, it’s essential to preheat your oven to the suggested temperature (in this case, 350 degrees Fahrenheit). This will ensure that your cake bakes evenly and delivers that golden brown crust.
Secondly, when adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, make sure not to overmix. After mixing just enough for everything to be combined, stop mixing. Overmixing can release gluten in the flour, resulting in a tougher cake.
Thirdly, when mixing the vanilla instant pudding mix with water and condensed milk, make sure to follow the instructions on the package carefully. If the mixture is too thin, it could cause your cake layers to become mushy.
Fourthly, use fresh peaches if available. The sweetness of fresh fruit will take your dessert to another level. However, canned peaches may work too if fresh ones are not in season.
Lastly, when layering the cake and adding toppings, make sure to be gentle when spreading each layer. You don’t want to ruin all of your hard work by overhandling them – keep it simple!
By following these tips, you’ll have a beautiful peaches and cream cake that is both tender and flavorful!
