The Best Peaches And Cream Cake Recipe
One of the best parts of summer are the fresh flavors—and this cake is bursting with them! If you love peach desserts as much as I do, try this cake with peach cobbler or serve it alongside a refreshing peach lemonade.
This might be one of the easiest recipes on the site—just four ingredients for the cake and four more for the frosting! It’s soft, flavorful, and perfect for summer gatherings.
To make the cake, mix yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, and a can of peach filling, then spread into a 9×13 pan and bake in the oven. That’s it!
Ingredients
- Yellow Cake Mix: Cake mixes with pudding included make for an extra moist cake.
- Peach Filling: Gently fold it in to keep peach chunks intact for better texture.
- Eggs: Use room-temp eggs for a smoother mixture.
- Full-Fat Sour Cream: Avoid low-fat versions, which can make the cake drier.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: Let the cream cheese and butter soften fully for easy mixing.

Can I use whipped cream frosting instead of cream cheese frosting with this cake?
Absolutely! Sounds delicious!
Peaches are in season here in Utah. Is there a recipe variation for fresh fruit instead of canned?
Not on this specific recipe, but I have lots of fresh peach recipes just search “peach” in the search bar!
Hi Chels- can this be made as a two layer cake? Or is it too moist and won’t hold up? Thanks, Regina
Hmm I don’t think this would do well as a layer cake unfortunately — too moist and the peaches are a bit big
I made this with Lucky Leaf’s canned apples instead of peaches. I just put them in a bowl and chopped them up a little bit and then added to the cake batter. I love this recipe, and so does everyone I make it for.
I’m sooo glad you enjoyed it!! And i’m sure it’s just as delicious with apples! I’ll have to try. Thanks Susan! 🙂
Hi Chelsea! My family and I loved this cake. I made it with no modifications. It was so easy and came out so well. I had never heard of this brand of peaches, but there it was in my grocery store. I just asked my Mom (my resident food critic) to give me one word for how the cake tasted. She said. “Delicious”. I think that says it all.
Hi Chelsea, this looks and sounds delicious! Just wondering if you refrigerate it? Thanks!
My mother and father-in-law love all peach desserts. I’ve never tried making a peach cake before…this would be perfect to make for them!
