Overall, old-fashioned peach cake is a delicious, easy-to-make, and versatile dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's no wonder that it's so popular!

Ingredients

Let me show you what ingredients I used in my version of this delicious peach cake.

  • 500 g Sliced Canned Peaches: The star of the show, peaches add sweetness, tartness, and a lovely texture to the cake.
  • Three Eggs: Eggs help to bind the ingredients together and provide moisture to the cake.
  • 200 g of Flour: The foundation of the cake, flour provides structure and helps to bind the ingredients together.

  • 150 g Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness to the peach cake and helps to create a moist texture.
  • ½ teaspoon of Baking powder: This leavening agent helps the cake to rise and become light and fluffy.
  • 130 g Greek Yoghurt: Adds a touch of richness and enhances the tender crumb of the cake.
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Sugar: Vanilla sugar adds depth of flavour and aroma to the cake.
  • 150 ml Sunflower Oil: Oil contributes tenderness and richness to the texture.

How to Make the Old-Fashioned Peach Cake Recipe?

Make the Batter

The recipe is very simple and you can make it in a very short time. First, put the sugar and eggs in a bowl and mix them with a hand mixer until the sugar dissolves.

Add the Greek yogurt and continue mixing until the yogurt is incorporated and you get a thin paste.

Beaten Eggs and Yoghurt in the Bowl

Mix the flour with the baking powder and add it to the bowl, and pour in the sunflower oil.

Beaten Eggs and Flour in the Bowl

Keep mixing until you get a thicker paste without lumps of flour. It is slightly thicker than pancake batter.

Cake Batter in the Bowl

Baking the Peach Cake

Choose a suitable baking form for this amount of batter. I chose a square ceramic 24 x 24 cm size. Grease the baking form with butter and sprinkle with flour. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the sides of the baking form.

Butter Greased and Floured Ceramic Baking Form

Pour the dough into the baking form and level it to reach evenly in all corners.

Cake Batter in the Ceramic Baking Form

Arrange the peach slices on top of the batter in any desired pattern or shape. The batter is thick enough to support the peach slices and prevent them from sinking during baking.

Sprinkle a spoonful of vanilla sugar on top, which will caramelize nicely and give it an extra flavour.

Peach Slices on the Batter

Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) and bake for approximately 45 minutes. The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the batter and the type of oven being used.

How to Serve the Cake?

Old-fashioned peach cake is a delightful dessert that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Here are some suggestions for serving this classic dessert:

  • A dusting of powdered sugar: Sift powdered sugar over the cake for an elegant presentation and a subtle sweetness.
  • A drizzle of honey or maple syrup: Honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness and depth of flavour, balancing the tartness of the peaches.
  • A dollop of whipped cream: Whipped cream adds a touch of lightness and sweetness to the cake, enhancing its overall richness.
  • With a scoop of vanilla ice cream: The cool, creamy ice cream perfectly complements the warm, peachy cake, creating a delightful contrast in textures and flavours.

How to Store?


Old-fashioned peach cake is a delicious and comforting dessert that can be enjoyed for days after baking. Proper storage is crucial to maintain its freshness and flavour. Here's a guide on how to store old-fashioned peach cake:

  • Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature before storing. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can lead to sogginess.
  • Cover Tightly: Once cooled, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminium foil. This prevents the cake from drying out and absorbing ambient flavours.
  • Store in an Airtight Container: Place the wrapped cake in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. This further protects the cake from moisture loss and flavour contamination.
  • Refrigerate: Store the wrapped cake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Duration: Stored at room temperature, old-fashioned peach cake will remain fresh for up to 2 days.
