Peach cakes are perfect for summer. Fresh, light, and sweet, it’s just what you need to celebrate the summery season. It’s an easy dessert recipe to make. The flavor is fresh and fruity, while the cake texture is soft, light, and moist.

You don’t need butter for this recipe (it’s one of the reasons why it’s so moist!), but you will need eggs, sugar, oil, flour, baking powder, powdered sugar, and of course, peaches! Whisk well the ingredients, add chopped peaches, mix them into the batter, and bake.

This peachy cake is perfect for summer, or special occasions like a baby or wedding shower. In fact, you can even just make it as a snacking cake, and eat it all yourself!

What are the best Peaches for making a Cake?

Fresh, juicy, ripe peaches work best with this recipe, so avoid frozen peaches, or canned peaches.

Peach Cake Ingredients

Eggs – use fresh, large eggs

Sugar – use granulated sugar for the cake batter.

Oil – use neutral-flavored canola oil

Flour – use all-purpose flour

Baking powder – make sure your baking powder is fresh

Peaches – we used fresh peaches for this recipe.

Yogurt – it makes the cake moist.

How To Make Peach Cake

Prepare the peaches first. Peel them and chop them into pieces or slices. Now make the batter. Whisk together the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract. Add in yogurt, oil and sifted flour, then whisk well before mixing in chopped peaches.

Transfer the batter to a greased baking tin and bake at 360°F/180°C for about 30-35 minutes or until golden. You can also sprinkle the peach cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips

You can use butter instead of oil, but the cake may be slightly drier.

You can also add spices like ground ginger, cinnamon, or cardamom.

You can also use fresh, peeled peaches.

Make the cake healthier by using whole-wheat flour.

How To Store Peach Cake

The peach cake can be stored in an airtight container (at room temperature) for up to 3 days.

Can You Freeze Peach Cake?

You can also freeze the cake. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature before eating.
