A moist, light peach cake is topped with a sugary sweet, praline-like icing for a decadent dessert. Since this recipe starts with boxed cake mix and canned peaches, you can make it easily any time of year, not just when peaches are in season! Replace the icing with a crumble topping for a more coffee cake-like variation.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 cans peaches in fruit juice , 15-ounce
- 1 package Duncan Hines yellow cake mix , 15.5 ounce
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 13x9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
-
2
Drain juice from the cans of peaches into a measuring cup until you have 1/2 cup of peach juice. Set aside the 1/2 cup of peach juice and discard remaining juice.
-
3
Chop peaches and pat with paper towels to remove some of the excess moisture. Add chopped peaches to a small mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the cake mix.
-
4
In a large mixing bowl, beat remaining cake mix, eggs, oil, and 1/2 cup reserved peach juice with an electric mixer until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle chopped peaches evenly over batter.
-
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay), 28 to 33 minutes. Allow cake to begin cooling on a wire rack while you prepare icing.
-
6
Place brown sugar, butter, and cream in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, 10 to 15 minutes from the time you first turned on the heat. Stir in vanilla until well mixed, then remove from heat.
-
7
Gradually whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth.
-
8
Immediately pour icing over warm cake, and spread quickly with a spatula into an even layer, as icing will set quickly.

You won't even miss the mayonnaise in this classic chicken salad! I like to serve this on a bed of lettuce with a side of sliced tomato for a healthy lunch.
Traditional Armenian Gomgush
Armenian gomgush is a traditional brothy stew. Fresh ingredients are very important in this recipe, which is cooked in an unwashed tonir (similar to a tandoor) kept in families. After many gomgush are made, it will keep getting better and better!
Savory Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks
These pan-seared tuna steaks are served medium-rare and taste fancy but are very easy to cook. A sprinkling of cracked black pepper is a good finisher for this dish. This makes for a quick and delicious dinner after a long day with almost no effort.
