Description

Peach Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting is a deliciously moist and flavorful dessert that combines a soft yellow cake enhanced with Peach Jell-O and juicy peaches, topped with a rich, caramel-like brown sugar frosting. The easy batter comes together quickly and results in a vibrant, fruity cake, while the homemade frosting adds incredible depth and sweetness. Perfect for gatherings or summer celebrations, this cake is sure to impress with its irresistible flavors and beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15 ounces)
  • 2 boxes Peach Jell-O powdered gelatin (3 ounces each)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 bag frozen peaches, cut in half (16 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the yellow cake mix, Peach Jell-O powder, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  3. Cut the frozen peaches in half and gently fold the peach halves into the cake batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  5. For the frosting, combine the butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Place the saucepan in an ice bath and beat the frosting until it thickens slightly and cools.
  7. Pour the cooled frosting over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

Substitute fresh or canned peaches for frozen if desired; adjust sweetness accordingly. If Peach Jell-O is unavailable, swap for orange gelatin and add peach extract. Make cake a day ahead for deeper flavor; store frosted cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If frosting sets too quickly, thin with a little warm cream. If cake is too dense, avoid overmixing the batter. Freezes well for up to 2 months without frosting.
