This fresh peach cake recipe is loaded with a pound of sweet summer peaches. It comes together quickly and is perfect for unexpected company! This also makes for a great morning or coffee cake because it’s lightly sweet and every bite just melts in your mouth.

This peach cake always disappears fast! The last time I baked it, I served a slice to my cute 4-year old nephew who is a “selective eater” and I laughed when he dove right in, face planting right into his slice – who needs a fork?! It was the funniest sight and pretty obvious he loved it!

This peach cake has a soft and moist crumb with a hint of lemon and every bite is bursting with fresh peach flavor. This is an easy, excellent cake you will make again and again! Watch the how-to video to see just how easy it is!

Recipe Notes

*To measure flour correctly, spoon it into a measuring cup and level off the top. If you simply push your measuring cup into the flour bin, you can get 25%+ excess in your cup.

• I have made this peach cake several times and each time I get so many complements.

  thank you Natasha for the recipe.

• Made the original recipe and it was gone in one day. Made it two days later with almond instead of vanilla and cherries instead of peaches and it was amazing too!

• I made your recipe the cake was so moist and delicious my family loved it. It went fast. Thank you for sharing it.

• This was really good! Only change I made was I added some chopped pecans to the batter. I will definitely make this again-company loved it too. Thanks for your wonderful recipes

• Just made this cake now, omg the kitchen smells delicious 😋!!! Can’t wait to sink my teeth into this!!! Let you know soon!!!

• Hi Natasha,

  Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! This cake is so light and fluffy. I loved the peaches in it, but I also tried it with cranberries w/orange zest and persimmons w/lime zest, and they both turned out really good! I’m 14, I love to bake, and I love using your recipes.

• Natasha at what time and how does she remove the baking paper from the cake? When you cut it out to test it, you are out of paper. Thanks for your reply. Greetings.

• kindly put the ingredients in grams.thanks

• Hi Natasha just made your peach cake this afternoon. Was easy to make. Tastes great. So light and moist.

  Thank you

• This is a wonderful cake – easy to make and very tasty. I’ve made it several times and it’s a real hit in my family.

• Unbelievably delicious – so moist!! It’s quite hot out here , therefore I did store it in the refrigerator and it’s still just as moist. I meant to decorate the top with peaches but ran out! I didn’t have fresh lemons, but added lemon extract instead.

• Natasha can u use canned peaches? I made your lemon poppy seed cake, it was delicious. Thank u for all if your recipes, I love them.

• What can I substitute the butter with to make this cake dairy free?

• I made this yesterday in a spring form pan, as I wanted to turn it into a strawberry shortcake. It watched the baking time so I wouldn’t cook it to a crisp. It came out really well, and the family decided to eat it as is, without any frosting. Simple, yet tasty.

• If there are any leftovers is it best to put cake in fridge or leave at room temp?

• Hi!

  This looks absolutely delish!!
  Can I use a regular non stick cake pan instead of a springform pan?

• If I’m not serving any of the fruit cakes (blueberry, peach, etc) until the following day, do I need to store it in the fridge overnight?

• I want to make orange cake but please let me know substitute for eggs.

  • It is hard to get fresh peaches here in Malaysia. Could i substitute with canned peaches. Btw love your strawberry cake!

    • • Thanks! Love your recipes. Fuss free and delicious! Made this with canned peaches and it was delicious!

• Hi Natasha I made peach cak easy and delicious thank u 🌹🙏💕

• Hi Natasha,

  I am a big fan of your and have tried many recipes and love it all.
  I would like to try the peach recipe and can I use canned peaches?

• Hi Natasha,

  I tried this cake last week. I couldn’t find peaches during this time so I substitute it with mandarins and add a little bit of orange liqueur to it. It came out very well and everyone loved it. Thank you so much for this recipe.

• Loved the cake. Can I use frozen peaches?oo

• Used canned mangoes instead of peaches and added orange extract, the result was great!

  Me and my partner loved it

• I make this cake with blueberries (frozen mainly that I’ve picked up) many, many times. It is always a hit. Thank for the recipe 🙏🏻

• Making it for the second time in a week, it was such a success on the first go.

  Blanching the peaches for 2 minutes in boiling water, then cooling them so you can handle them, really helps with the peeling and chopping.

• Hi Natasha,

  Can I use canned peaches in this recipe if the peaches are dried correctly? Thanks in advance.

• Hi Natasha, love the peach , cake, and the strawberry one have made both recently. I think the sour cream adds to the moisture of the strawberry cake. So today I double the recipie and made two apricot cakes. They are in the oven now. And I’m sure they will be delish. Love the real chicken egg thingy, made me giggle,still think you are the cutest girl around and love your videos<

  Not sure how you are making a living with this, but know you really enjoy this. It is stone fruit apricot peach season here in the BCs Okanagan. Next will be nectarines

• Hi Natasha,

  Can peach be substituted with nectarines?
  Thanks,
  Arushi

  • • Very yummy recipe! I substituted Better Batter flour for a gluten free cake and it was delicious. I will definitely make it again and again.

• Hey Natasha,

  Fresh Ontario tart cherry season is almost here. Do you think they will work with this recipe?

• hi, is there any substitute for eggs?

• Hi Natasha, Can i make this with canned peach since it is not the season for fresh one?

• We tried the recipe and it came out really well. We converted the quantities for a 9″ pan to a 10″ pan. After tasting the cake we decided to use the batter recipe to make a cannoli cake. Looked for one on your site and couldn’t find it. We’re going to triple the batter recipe without the peaches and bake three cakes. Cut each in half for a six layer caker and slather each layer with a dark rum

  syrup on all the layers topped with cannoli cream. Frosting will most likely be whipped cream. We could use a nice butter cream too. We’ll let you know how it turns out. Gotta have me a piece of peach cake now. Thanks again. Grampa Joe

• Hello,

  I will make your recipe as my employer likes peach. Instead of bits of peaches I will make them into purée. Is that possible???

  • eeeekk, I wouldn’t try that….as Natasha said, it would be like adding liquid. Even using canned peaches, you would need to drain them well. Sorry if you think I’m a buttinsky!

  • Thanks Natasha! I am going to give this a go for my son who requested a peach cake for his birthday Do you think it would still work split between 2 traditional cake pans so I can layer and frost? I am looking at the ingredients and thinking doubling would make… a lot of cake. Haha. But I don’t want them to be paper thin either. I am lousy at the math of baking.

• Have made with delicious summer peaches- so good, everyone loves it!

  Really need to know if anyone has tried to freeze- would love to put a couple away before end of summer.

  Thanks for your help.

  • Hi Judy,

    I have frozen the peach cake and it was perfect when we defrosted – it was almost more flavorful.

• Hi Natasha,

  Can I use avocado oil instead of butter?

• Can this be made in a 9×13 Pyrex?

  Also , should recipe be doubled?

• If I were to use your almond cake recipe and add in peaches, do you think that would work out?

• Natasha,

  My second comment in a week! This peach cake was perfection! I served it for guests last night and it was wonderful! I followed your instructions and it baked for 50 min, was light, moist and tasted amazing!! Thank you so much! Loving your recipes! Making the apple cake next!

• Hi Natasha. Couldn’t wait to make this recipe for your peach cake. I made it the other day and it came out delicious and it looks just like your picture. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes.

• Hey Natasha

  This cake is absolutely amazing. I baked this cake the 3rd time last week. My husband and I absolutely love this recipe. Last week I tried with donut peaches and it was just as good. The lemon zest gives the cake that beautiful smell and a kick in the taste buds. I have more peaches in the fridge…will definitely be baking this little beauty once again. Thank you so much for during your amazing recipes. I absolutely love your recipes!!!

• Hi Natasha,

  Haha….it was totally my mistake. I went back to the amount of ingredients I put, and I totally put waaay too much butter. Don’t know what happened 🤣.
  I did not give up and I made a second batch, this time making sure I didn’t mess up. It came out SUPER nice, even with pineapple. I made sure I drained all the liquid from the pineapple.
  Thank you for your reply, sorry about the false alarm 🤣.
  Keep coming up with great recipes!

  Cheers,

  Roxy

• Hello, love your website!

  Just tried making the peach cake.
  Followed the recipe. Did not have peaches but used fresh pineapple instead. Made sure that it is not wet. The batter came out very wet and greasy. While baking the butter was dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Tasted amazing though :). I am sure the reason was not the pineapple. Looked like the amount of butter was too much. (3/4 of a cup did seem a bit much). I watched the video and the amount of butter you put in the bowl seemed less than the amount I had.
  Can you advise.

  Thanks!

• I loved this cake! I followed the directions and it came out amazing! I also did a homemade cream cheese icing instead of a powder sugar dusting. I would like to try it in 2 9 inch cake pans next time to make a double layer cake or make cupcakes. Do you have any idea what cooking time may look like for those?

• Tried it today and Came out excellent!Thanks a lot.

  Can you freeze this cake?

• Thank you for the great recipe! Made it today for my mother in law and she just phoned me to tell me that was the best cake she has ever had and she is 80 years old!

• Thank you for delicious recipe 🙂 I made it twice. First time it was a little runny in the center (I think because it needed extra time in the oven) but my family liked it anyway. The second time it was perfect. I enjoy it has peaces in every bite. I definitely will make it again and again 🙂

• When I made this I was careful to follow the directions, but the cake fell in the center. That rarely has happened to me; what went wrong? But I filled the depression with frosting and the cake itself was moist and delicious. I got lots of positive feedback!

• I need to make ahead of the date I will be serving. Can this cake and your blueberry lemon cake be frozen? Has anyone done this?

• Hi Natasha! I was looking for a peach pie recipe since we have way too many peaches in our garden. Made this cake today. Great recipe, thank you very much:) The only thing – I baked in convectional oven and, reading previous comments, took a pie out at 55 minutes ( I was afraid to burn it and it looked nice brown). The pie turned out fluffy and peaches were evenly distributed but seemed a bit soggy. Should I maybe keep it in the own for the full hour or more next time to make it a little bit drier? Or maybe I put too much butter? 12 tbsp as directed I think. Thanks a lot and have a great day 🙂

• Hi Natasha, can the cake stay outside or needs to be refrigerated? Thank you so much!!

• Hi Natasha, thanks for this delectable recipe. Today, I am going to make this peach cake for the first time. I hope I’ll be able to make the same.

• Hi and thank you for your wonderful recipes Natasha. I made this cake today and love how light and airy it is. Taste is also good, although I will go with a tiny bit more sugar next time . Overall, great cake, light and refreshing and summery!

• Really good refreshing cake recipe for summer!

  The peaches I had weren’t really 100% ripe or sweet yet, so I set them aside for 20 mins. in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar to macerate and draw some sweetness into them & then drained before adding to batter. It worked.
  The cake turned out really tasty. Served it for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – double yum! 🙂
  Sidebar – strangely, though my oven was set to 350 (as indicated), this cake only took 42 mins. to bake. Glad I checked the oven before the alarm went off or I may have accidentally overcooked/burned it!

• Made this yesterday (my 5th or 6th time making it) for our friends who are visiting from Taiwan. This time, got all of the ingridients and because I was in a rush, didn’t read the instructions until after I had combined the butter, eggs, and sugar… Oops. Decided to go ahead and mix anyway and then carefully follow the remainder instructions. Turned out just as good, if not better, than previous times… Our friends even asked for the recipe 🙂

  • Yay, I’m happy to hear the recipe was a great success Nat! Thanks for sharing your great review and spreading the love!

    • Can i replace the 3/4 cup butter with oil pl? And if this is possible what amount of oil should I use?

      I tried the berries cake it was delicious tks

• Hey there Natasha darlin omg love the video demo this is like my fifth or sixth time making it it’s always such a very big hit thanx again for sharing have a really very blessed week peace

• Hey, so I only have a few small peaches….Can I still make this, but simply substitute the remaining peaches with apples?

  • Oh, and I don’t have a springform pan. Will a regualr one work?

    • • Hi can you bake this is in a 9×13 pan? Or bigger? And also can you substitute mango for the peaches? Thanks!

• Hi. I tried this receipe last night. The cake turned out tasty but quite soggy by where the peaches were. Do you know how i could make it less wet and soggy? Thanks, Gemma 🙂

• Tried your Peach Cake recipe. It was really awesome. My family members loved it. Thanks for such a lovely recipe.

  • You’re welcome Cecelia! I’m glad to hear how much everyone enjoys the recipe. Thanks for sharing your great review!

• I am curious as to why your videos show you using vegetable oil for the top four cakes, but the recipes say 3/4 c. butter?

  I am referring to the blueberry-lemon; strawberry w/sb sauce, apple cake; and peach cakes.

• I love all of your recipes Natasha! I was wondering if I could use canned peaches because my family wa ya me to try and make this for Thanksgiving celebration in addition to the normal pumpkin and apple pie’s we make. Thank you, Pattie

• I love your recipes but for this one, I just had to add 1/2 cup of milk and replaced the butter with just about 1/4 c of coconut oil & turned out perfectly delicious and moist cake! I was just wondering what the outcome would be without any liquid component to the batter. So, I didn’t take any chances but added the milk instead. 🙂

• Hi Natasha,

  I just wanted to say, I tried about half of the recipes on your website, I am a huge fan of all the recipes. I wanted to especially compliment you on this cake, it is just outstanding! I wanted to try it with strawberries instead of peaches, can you tell me how much strawberries I will have to add? I would think 2 lb, but afraid it’s too much.

• Hi Natasha! You are amazing 🙂

  Would it be the same recipe if I substituted peaches for raspberries ?

• Hi Natasha, the recipe looks great. Can I use canned peaches

• Such a simple recipe yet delicious result! Made this yesterday and it turned out really moist and yummy! Thank you for such a great recipe!

  • You’re welcome Anika! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe as much as I do! Thanks for sharing your excellent review!

• Love your recipes- just wondering with the peach cake if this recipe can be made into cupcakes and the added peaches on top dipped in a simple syrup prevent them from browning, again I love your recipes and videos

• Hi Natasha, thank you so much for your awesome site, love every single detail!!! May I ask if you ever tried this recipe with mangoes by any chance? What do you think? Would it work? Thank you for the answer in advance!!!

• Hey Natasha, I made this yesterday and it is delicious! The peaches did sink to the bottom though, any idea why that could have happened? I did end up using about a cup more of peaches than the recipe because I had really big peaches (not sure if that had anything to do with it).

  • • Hi Natasha,

      Love your website. I use a little trick to keep blueberries from sinking… coat in a little bit of flour before adding to mix!

      🙂

      Jackie

• I would appreciate it if you included weights for flour as it is so important in baking. Thanks!

• What could I sub for the butter? I want to make a dairy free version.

• This cake is fantastic. It reminds me of my childhood and the delicious cakes my mom used to bake. The batter itself is worthy of being consumed raw. Although that may not be a great idea. Thanks again for another wonderful recipe. This one will be a keeper for years. I’ve already directed many a taste-testers to your website. Thank you.

  • You’re welcome Katrina! I’m glad to hear you are enjoying the recipe! Thanks for following and sharing your great review!

  • You’re welcome Christina! I’m glad you love it! Thanks for sharing your great review!

• Should you only use fresh peaches or can you use canned peaches? What about also using some sort of other fruit such as berries instead of peaches?

• Just tried that cake and man it’s so easy to make and super fluffy and DELICIOUS 😋 I just used caned Mandarinen instead of peach because my son ate all the peaches I cutted for the cake 🙄🙈 but once I buy more peaches I’ll bake it again! Thank you for sharing the recipe 😍

  • You’re in for a treat! Please let me know what you think of the recipe Dana!

• I made this cake yesterday for a party, and it was delicious! I used 3 peaches and 2 ripe plums, and 1 tsp of vanilla (instead of 1/2 tsp), but other than that I followed the recipe and it turned out beautifully! It was super yummy with home-made ice cream.

  • YUM, that sounds delicious! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe Melene! Thanks for sharing 🙂

• I am making a bunch of desserts for a dessert auction in two weeks. This looks perfect, but I’m wondering if I can freeze the cake and defrost the night before or morning of. Either way, I’m going to make it!

• So easy to make and the taste is wonderful! I really love this cake as another wonderful way to use peaches. I’ve already frozen several batches of peaches to make this cake during the winter. I tried adding some chopped pecans to the top; great crunch with the powdered sugar topping. Thanks so much for posting.

  • You’re welcome Jan! I’m glad to hear you enjoy the recipe as much as I do! Thanks for sharing your excellent review!

• try Apples …my mom use to make it and I as well for my Family…

• Hi Natasha, this peach cake is absolutely divine! I had a few peaches left and wasn’t sure what to do with them, and then boom, like a magic your recipe came up. We loved this peach cake, it’s so light, moist and perfect. Thank you for this great recipe!

  We truly appreciate all of your recipes, because they are always turned out great and so simple and easy to follow and of course all of your recipes are so afordable! We arw saving with your recipes and eating healthier too😊. Thank you, you are the best!!!

  • Hello Saniya! You’re welcome, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the recipes! Thanks for following and sharing your excellent review!:)

    • I intend to make this since I love your blueberry lemon cake. I’m going to have to make a binder with all your recipes in it for quick and easy reference. Your recipes are the best. I will be trying the Russian Apple Cake recipe now that apple season is here. Thoroughly enjoy your recipes.

      • I’m glad to hear that! Thanks so much for following and please let me know what you think of this recipe!

• Sounds like the perfect way to take advantage of the last of the summer peaches! Yum.

  • Right!! 🙂

• U guys are amazing- keep it up- I love the part with chicken giving u eggs 😀

  • Thanks Alina! I’m glad you enjoy our fun video! 🙂

• We stopped at the farmers market last weekend and picked up a big basket of peaches. Unfortunately, they were getting ripe faster than we could eat them — so this recipe came at the perfect time. Made it tonight and it was YUMMY! Took all my will power not to eat the whole darn thing. I’ll admit one piece wasn’t enough and I did go back for seconds. The seconds even got a little vanilla ice cream on top. Oh my word was that beyond good!

  Cut the rest into pieces and put them in the freezer for pull out breakfast treats during the week. It’s gonna be a delicious week!

  • That’s awesome! I’m happy to hear how much you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for sharing your fantastic review! 🙂

• Hi Natasha,

  Since you asked for ideas, I could imagine this very same cake with an additional layer of caramelized peaches on the top, so it would have to be made upside down. I made something similar here with plums and pecans (if you want to check it out):
  P.S.: I like the hen part in the video 😉

• Lol the chicken!!🐔

• This looks delicious but did I miss where to add in the chopped peaches?

  • Hi Natasha,

    Could sub gf flour or almond flour?
