An Easy Peach Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze
Do you love a great recipe that’s super easy? Yeah, me too, so today I’m sharing a recipe for an easy peach pound cake with lemon glaze.
I think you’re going to love it!!!
My sister in law’s grandmother gave her this recipe many years ago, and she shared it with me. I’ve been making it ever since, and it’s always a crowd pleaser.
It was actually a recipe for apricot pound cake which is just as delicous, but I sometimes change it up and make peach.
And you won’t believe what the ingredient is that makes the fruit flavor! It’s also what makes this cake so moist and delicious.
ingredients for peach pound cake
1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
2 jars peach baby food (or apricot)
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
fresh peaches (optional)
instructions for making peach bundt cake
Mix all ingredients together until well blended.
I add chopped up fresh peaches to the batter when they are in season, but it is totally optional.
Grease and sugar (or flour) bundt pan. I like to use sugar for this particular cake, but it is totally your preference. Either will work.
Pour batter into pan and bake at 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Time may vary based on your oven. Mine takes about 50 minutes.
Take out of oven and let cool.
Remove cake from pan and place on plate or serving dish.
to make lemon glaze for peach bundt cake
Mix about 1 cup powdered sugar with juice from 1-2 lemons. Whisk together until sugar is dissolved and there are no lumps in the mixture.
Less lemon juice will make a thicker consistency, so it’s totally up to you if you want a thicker glaze on top.
Pour lemon glaze over cake, and enjoy!!
I like to decorate the center of my cake with a fresh flower. You can even place a small glass filled with water in the center, and add a small bouquet of flowers too.
For this Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake I made at Christmas, I showed 3 different options for decorating the center.
One option is filling the center with fruit. In this case, I froze cranberries and filled the center.
The second option was magnolia leaves from a neighbor’s tree, and lastly some hydrangea blossoms from my garden.
Use your imagination for embellishing your cake!!
You won’t believe how moist this peach bundt cake is and can you believe that baby food is what creates the fruit flavor?
It’s easy to adapt the recipe flavor, by changing up the flavor of the baby food fruit you use.
And I’m actually planning to try it with lemon curd. I love anything lemon flavor and think it would be perfect for summer.

blessings and happy baking friends,
Be sure and Pin It to remember it….

And if you enjoy baking and making things pretty, you might like these easy carrot muffins in terra cotta pots that I made for a garden inspired tablescape/party.
Boxed cakes mixes have chemicals you would never eat, but you’re eating them in this recipe. Just make the cake from scratch and feel good you are not feeding your family chemicals.
I just did a demo prep for an app and it requiring my using yellow cake mix. I hated the aroma and I finally baked chicken in my oven to take the smell of the mix away.
Diana: I’m so sorry you took this tack. If you don’t choose to use commercially produced cake mixes, I’m sure you could use a homemade yellow cake recipe recipe and have a good result. No need to excoriate the blogger. Just modify to suit your personal preferences.
In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
Yummy! And it looks beautiful, too. Hugs to you
Thank you sweet Renae! It is so good and really is one of my favorite cakes!
I got all the items to make this cake.
Do you mixed by hand or in mixer?
Can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for sharing 😊
I typically use my stand mixer because it’s just easier and mine sits out on my counter anyway. But, I’m sure hand mixing would be fine too.
Thanks!
When I saw the Peach baby food jars I thought you’d gone crazy but I’m actually looking forward to trying this! 😉 It looks scrumptious.
Let me know if you try it! It is so easy to make and so delicious!
Baby Food?? That is amazing! The women of days gone by were so creative with coming up with ingredients for recipes! Pinned 😊
It is SO good too! I really think that’s what makes it so moist!
This looks delicious! I’ve never heard of using baby food in a cake before, but I’m going to have to give this recipe a try! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I hope you give it a try. It really is so moist and delicious and super easy to make. Thanks so much for following along and commenting!
Oh my goodness! Just made the cake and you were right! So good, so moist!
Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s a keeper for me!
Have a blessed day
Oh good! Go glad you liked it. Thanks so much for letting me know.
Michele, I just want to thank you for the step by step instructions you give with your recipes.
They are so easy to understand and follow. So helpful for us “old girls” (80 yrs young) that don’t cook or bake much anymore. But I am certainly going to bake this pound cake and
some of your other recipes you so graciously gave us. God Bless You each and every day.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate that, and I hope you love this recipe. It is so easy to make and always turns out moist and delicious.
I’m going to try some of these recipes. My Mother made this cake often but used plum baby food. It was always good but I’m thinking the peach will be even better!
Yes, you can certainly change out the baby food. I have also used apricot. So good!!
