Description
This cake brings back memories of lazy afternoons on the porch, where Grandma would slice up this peachy delight while stories were passed around like second helpings. The moist cake, bursting with real peaches and kissed with a caramel-like frosting, is the kind of treat that makes any day feel like Sunday. Bake it once, and it’ll become a family favorite.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 (15 oz) box yellow cake mix
2 (3 oz) boxes Peach Jell-O (dry)
4 eggs
1 cup oil*
1 (16 oz) bag frozen peaches (do not thaw)**
For the Frosting:
½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
2 cups packed brown sugar
⅔ cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Ice water (for cooling bath—not for recipe)
Instructions
Make the Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix cake mix, dry Jell-O, eggs, and oil. Fold in frozen peaches. Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
Make the Frosting:
In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes. Slowly whisk in cream and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and place the pan into an ice water bath. Beat until thick and spreadable.
Spread frosting over cooled cake. Slice and enjoy!
