Fresh Peach Cake Ingredients 

The ingredients needed for this cake with peaches are few and simple. Here’s what goes into this peach crumb cake:

• Vegetable oil
• Baking soda
• Salt 
• Ground cinnamon
• Fresh peaches

How to Make Peach Cake

This summer peach cake is as easy as using a boxed cake mix, but the flavor is so much better! Here are the basic steps for mastering this recipe: 

1. Add the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir until combined. 
2. Fold in the peaches, then pour the batter into a greased 9-inch pan. 
3. Make the crumb topping and sprinkle over the cake. 
4. Bake the peach cake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. 
5. Let cool before slicing. 

Can I Use Frozen Peaches? 

No, this peach crumb cake is best with fresh peaches. Frozen peaches aren’t as sweet, and they’ll alter the texture of this cake. 

Can I Use Canned Peaches? 

You’d likely be fine to use canned peaches in this summer peach cake recipe. Just make sure to drain them thoroughly, and opt for peaches that have been packed in their own juices versus in syrup. 

Should I Peel the Peaches? 

Nope, you don’t have to!

But if you’re totally averse to eating peach skins for whatever reason, you can always cut an X in teh bottom of each peach and then blanch them for a minute in boiling water. This will loosen up the skins and make them easy to peel off! 

Can I Freeze Peach Cake? 

I’m sure you can! The peaches may change texture once frozen, but if you’re deciding between throwing away leftovers and freezing them I say go ahead and freeze! The cake should last up to three months in the freezer. 

Tips for Making Fresh Peach Cake

• When making this summer peach cake, it is important that you have ripe peaches handy. This can also be made with canned peaches, but it’s summer, so I definitely had to go with the fresh ones! When your peaches are ripe, the juices will add extra moisture and a peachy flavor to the cake.
• If your peaches aren’t quite juicy enough, add in some peach yogurt. It will lend moisture and flavor to the cake.
• If you are concerned about the batter overflowing when baking, use a 9-inch springform pan instead.

Notes

• If your peaches are not ripe enough to emit juices, you can add peach yogurt to the batter to result in a peachy flavor.
