Peach Cake Recipe

This cake is what cake dreams are made out of.   The cake is extremely moist and filled with little bits of peaches.   The frosting is vanilla buttercream and decorated with fresh peaches.   

And the smell of it!  The smell of it you guys!  It smells like Summer.  It smells like sweet peaches.  It smells amazing!

Not only is everyone going to exclaim how good this cake is, but it’s also super easy to make.    It comes from one of my favorite vanilla cake recipes, made with two 8 inch cake pans layered on top of each other.

Easy Vanilla Frosting

This is a rich vanilla buttercream frosting made with butter, confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla.    Make sure to use softened butter and cream butter for 3 (!) minutes until fluffy.  Don’t skip on those 3 minutes because it makes all the difference in a fluffy frosting!

It’s one of my favorite frosting recipes and I use it for everything, including whoopie pies and cupcakes!   Make sure to save the recipe for your go to favorite frosting! 

Fresh or canned peaches?

Because it’s peach season, I recommend using fresh peaches, but if you’re making this cake not in season, you can use canned peaches too.  Just make sure to drain them before using them!

Hope you enjoy this Peach Cake!

Make sure to post a photo of your cake on Instagram and tag it #brooklynfarmgirl.  I feature all recipes!

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 4 cups confectioners sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 8 inch cake pans with nonstick spray.

      You can absolutely bake it a bundt cake! Time might need to be adjusted, so I’d keep a eye on it.

      Hey Suzanne, fresh peaches shouldn’t have equaled that much extra juice to make a big difference. How much juice did they have?
