Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 (15 oz) box yellow cake mix (Duncan Hines recommended)
  • 3 large eggs (or as specified by cake mix)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or as specified by cake mix)
  • 1/2 cup peach nectar or peach juice
  • 1 lb peeled and chopped peaches (about 3-4)
  • Drop of orange food coloring (optional)

For the Brown Sugar Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups sifted confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, peach nectar, and optional food coloring. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add peaches: Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
  4. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9×12 inch baking pan. Bake for 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Make the frosting: In a saucepan, bring the butter, cream, and brown sugar to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and slowly whisk in the sifted confectioner’s sugar until smooth.
  6. Apply frosting: Pour the frosting over the hot cake, ensuring even coating. Let the frosting harden at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process before cutting.
